Overlock Sewing Machine and Its Usage in Apparel Manufacturing

In mass garment manufacturing, after lock stitch machines, overlock sewing machines are mostly used among many sewing machine types. Overlock machine is also known as sergers, over edge sewing machine, and interlock sewing machine. An industrial overlocker is primarily used to sew the edges of a cloth piece with a clean finish.

By using an overlock machine you can make various types of stitches like, stitch class 503, stitch class 504 and stitch class 512. This machine is used in both woven and knits apparel sewing and is the majority used in knit garment manufacturing.

Handling and running an overlock machine is easier compared to other sewing machines like the lock stitch machines and cover stitch machines.

Cutting device: Overlock machines are equipped with a cutting device (knife) that cuts fabric edges (excess margin) while stitching.

Adjustable seam width: The width of a seam can be set based on the seam width needed in a design.

Stitch density (SPI): Stitch density can be changed in these machines

Safety stitches can be sewn by overlock sewing machines.

Thread consumption by overlocker - thread consumption in overlock machines is higher than in single needle lock stitch machines.

Machine bed - Normally machines come with a raised bed – the machine bed is raised than the tabletop. But in need, you can use a sunken bed where the tabletop is kept at the same height as the overlock machine bed.

Overlock machines are available in 3 threads, 4 threads and 5 threads overedge sewing.

For example, a T-shirt-making overlock machine is used for operations like Attaching sleeves, Joining side seams and underarms, and Attaching the neck rib to the neck.

This machine is used to create ruffles, decorative edges and gathers; join laces; serge narrow sleeves, spaghetti straps, and more.
