They are one in the same and the names are interchangeable. A serger sewing machine is the most ideal machine for sewing seams on knit, stretch fabrics and similar fibers.
 
Below I’ll walk you through the machines you can use for [url=http://www.knittingfabric.cc/]Scuba Fabric[/url] sewing knits, from your conventional machine and beyond.

1. Serger or overlock machine

If you live in the United States, you likely call this type of machine (pictured at the top) a serger.

If you live elsewhere in the world, you probably refer to this machine as an overlock or overlocker machine.

They are one in the same and the names are interchangeable. A serger sewing machine is the most ideal machine for sewing seams on knit, stretch fabrics and similar fibers.

Let’s start at the beginning: what is a serger? This is its own machine, and is not the same as using a “serger” stitch on your conventional machine.

A serger uses cone threads and can sew from 3–5 cones, depending on the machine and the stitch you are using.

A serger stitch usually looks like the image above, with loops going around the edge of the seam allowance, and two straight stitches along side of the loops.

The machine sews the upper and lower looper, the straight stitch, and the “safety” stitch (the second straight stitch) all at once, while the internal [url=http://www.knittingfabric.cc/]Knitting Stretchy Fabric[/url] knife inside cuts off the excess seam allowance.
