Different types of overlocks / sergers & stitches? Merrow, 3 Thread, 4 Thread, 5 Thread, 6 Thread

This video covers the different types of overlocks available and the type of stitches made with each. We will go over 3 thread, 4 thread, 5 thread, and 6 thread overlock machines.

Thank you! You explained everything very well! I have always been interested in the 5-thread but everyone around me seems to be using the 4 more. I will now get my 5 threader! 🤗

I'll link to this video because it will save me two or three pages of explanation. However, you should include information on which machine is advised for knits and which for wovens, as well as why. The machine that makes the chainstitch off the edge on the left is essentially for wovens, whereas the stitch on the right is either made for or may stretch.

THANK YOU - All i need is to edge wool to stop it fraying so a 3 thread would be FINE for me - thank you for saving my money.

Your videos helped me the most in adjusting timing on my sewing machine. Is it possible to do a video for adjusting overlock timing too? Thanks so much for being so helpful

This is great, thank you. It would of been good to see examples also but the illustration was also helpful

[LearnMYOG]

Thanks. Great overview of options. 512 stitch overlocks seem to pop up used more than 514 lately so was curious the difference.

What's the purpose of the fourth thread (extra needle) on the 4 thread machine is it just for safety? I'm looking to get a serger and I mostly do wovens and bridal wear, what kind of serger would you recommend?

Hi, Thank you for this insight. I just got a 5 thread Harrison. And i was wondering can i take out the safety stitch and just have a normal overlock?

[AlyxGlide]
