Sewing & Serger

What is it?

These machines allow you to sew fabrics together. The Serger can simultaneously sew and trim excess fabric for professionally finished seams.

You can complete various types of projects including:

  • Clothing Repair and Alteration
  • Create your own accessories
  • Various home décor

We carry plenty of tools and scrap fabrics that you can test with on hand.

What is the difference?

The key difference is that the Serger is a specialized sewing machine. It trims fabric while sewing and it's primary purpose is to perform an overlock stitch. However, neither can fully replace the other despite being able to complete similar functions and projects.
