Overlocker

Many people who love to sew are faced with the dilemma of whether or not to buy an overlocker. Maybe you've started sewing larger projects or clothes for your wardrobe, or maybe you just want a more professional finish to what you're making but are unsure whether an overlocker is necessary.

Talk to others who have an overlocker in their creative toolbox and you'll often find them telling you that they can't live without it, and here at Rito we're very inclined to agree. There's a big difference between your regular sewing machine and an overlocker, and once you've tried one, it's likely you can't live without it either.

What is an overlocker?

An overlocker is a sewing machine that does more than just sew. It's perfect for sewing wood edges, creating neat finishes and giving your project a professional finish. It sews with four threads at once and cuts at the same time, so you get a smooth, even seam.

Why do you need an overlocker sewing machine?

An overlocker is a type of sewing machine that's great for sewing in solid fabric because it prevents it from unraveling while creating beautiful finishes that don't require folding. It is also suitable for sewing stretch fabrics because it creates extra strong seams that hold the fabric securely in place with just one stitch.

At the same time, it trims the edge of the fabric, so you can remove any bumps and frayed edges so the stitching is perfectly straight and you don't have to worry about the edges getting ugly and frayed in the wash and with use.

You need an overlocker if you like sewing clothes for your own or others' wardrobe and you want to take your sewing to a higher level.

What can you use an overlocker for?

There are several ways you can use an overlocker when it comes to sewing clothes or other projects. Some use it primarily to sew over all the edges of the fabric to secure it and create nice, even edges, then sew it all together on a regular sewing machine. Others choose to sew entire projects on this machine because it is both faster and nicer than with the regular sewing machine.

When you choose to invest in an overlocker, it's because you want to make your sewing easier and create a completely different result that's closer to what you see from people who sew professionally.

The benefits of an overlocker

It's hard to come up with just one good reason why an overlocker sewing machine is pretty much indispensable for you if you love to sew, so we've found the four best:

• Finish - it looks much more professional if you use an overlocker along the edges
• Speed - sewing is much quicker with this machine and you only have to go over each seam once.
• Effects - you can sew many different seams on an overlocker that aren't available on a regular machine. Rolled seams, flounce edges and creases are three of the most commonly used.

In other words, you can use the overlocker and your regular machine together when you're working on a project, creating a more finished and streamlined result.

Can you make do with an overlocker?

There are many advantages to an overlocker, but the vast majority of sewers would miss their regular machine if they had to make do with an overlocker. Many think they can make do with a regular sewing machine - until they try an overlocker, but few think the other way round. That's why it's smart to buy a regular machine first and possibly add a nice overlock machine later, or when you find an overlocker bargain.

That said, it's a great addition to your sewing room and will also quickly become indispensable to you once you've unlocked all the possibilities such a machine offers.

An overlocker creates great looking seams and casts over the edges, so you don't have to sew the same seam multiple times. It even cuts away bumps and excess edge space at the same time.
