Traditionally, the serger was designed to sew, trim and finish the edges of a seam, encasing the raw edges to prevent fraying or raveling. All of this was completed in one step when used for garment construction.

The coverstitch machine was primarily used for hemming mostly on knits for a stretchy, durable stitch. By changing the tensions, layering the fabric differently, and using threads from the vast collection available today, it is easy to allow these machines to be a creative outlet for multiple projects.

From quick easy crafts, to handbags, garments, wall-hangings and quilts, let the serger and coverstitch machines become your go-to machine. It’s a new adventure with needle and thread for an artistic approach!
