Why is an overlock sewing machine needed?

In the garment production process, synthetic fibers such as polyester, which have a relatively hard texture after cutting, are often used. The thread at the cut edges of the fabric tends to fray and spread out due to its high strength. Therefore, serging is necessary - using a specialized overlock sewing machine to stitch a reinforcing seam along the raw edges to prevent the threads from spreading out. This also serves an aesthetic purpose.

An overlock sewing machine is a common textile processing equipment used to stitch the edges of fabric to prevent fabric from fraying.

◆Preparation: Place the fabric to be sewn on the work table of the serger, and adjust the machine's thread tension, stitch length, and seam width as needed.

◆Threading: Insert a needle into the needle hole on the machine, and thread the needle. Then, move the needle along the guide rail of the machine until the needle reaches the edge of the sewing area.

◆Sewing: When the needle reaches the edge of the sewing area, the machine will automatically lower the needle and begin sewing. During the sewing system, the machine will consequently tighten the thread and get the thread through the underside of the fabric, so the string is situated on the right half of the fabric.

◆Cutting thread: After the sewing is completed, the machine will automatically cut the thread. If you need to continue sewing, you can re-thread the needle and repeat the above steps.

It means a lot to take note that in genuine activity, the fitting thread tension and seam width ought to be chosen by the material and thickness of the texture, to guarantee great sewing results. Additionally, the machine and needles should be kept clean to avoid contaminating the fabric and affecting the sewing process.
