Sergers

A serger (also called an overlocker) trims the raw edge of fabric and finishes it with an interlocking thread stitch in a single pass, using multiple threads and loopers instead of a single needle and bobbin. It's what gives store-bought clothing that clean, professional seam finish.

About Sergers

A serger works alongside a regular sewing machine, not instead of one. You typically construct the main seam on a sewing machine, then finish the raw edges on a serger to stop fraying and give a factory-quality result. They're especially valuable for knitwear, activewear, and stretch fabrics, where their differential feed handles stretchy material far better than a standard sewing machine.

What to Look For

Thread count
3-thread sergers handle basic edge finishing; 4- and 5-thread models add stronger seams suited to knits and activewear.
Differential feed
Adjusts how fabric layers feed through the machine. Essential for preventing puckering or stretching on knit fabrics.
Threading
Sergers have more thread paths than a sewing machine; look for models with colour-coded or automatic threading if you're new to using one.
Coverstitch function
Some models add a coverstitch option for hemming knitwear with a professional double-stitched finish.

Common Questions

Do I need a serger if I already have a sewing machine?

You don't need one, but it makes a visible difference to finish quality, especially on knit fabrics, activewear, and anything sold or gifted, where a professional edge finish matters.

Is a serger difficult to thread?

It has more thread paths than a regular sewing machine, but modern Brother sergers are designed with colour-coded guides, and free training is included with every machine so you'll thread it confidently from day one.
