Serger

A serger, also known as an overlock sewing machine, is a specialized device used to finish the edges of fabric to prevent fraying and create a clean, professional look. Unlike a standard sewing machine, it trims excess fabric and simultaneously stitches over the edge with multiple threads, often producing a stretchy, durable seam. Sergers are commonly used in garment making and home sewing projects to achieve neat seams, rolled hems, or decorative finishes efficiently. They save time and enhance the durability and appearance of sewn projects by providing a secure, finished edge.
