Buyers Guide

Before you go out and buy just any serger, there are a few important factors and features for you to consider.

1. Number of Threads

Most serger machines will use either three or four threads, whereas some may be able to use just two, and others use up to eight. If you are a beginner, starting with a machine that has four threads is ideal. That said, for a variety of decorative stitches, you may need more.

2. The Needle System

The next thing to lookout for here is the needle system. Some serger machines use just one needle for stitching, some use two at once, and if you get a cover stitch and serger combination, they may use up to three needles at once. You also want to pay attention to whether or not the machine in question uses regular needles or special needles that may be hard to find.

3. The Threading System

You then also want to pay attention to the threading system, as threading a serger machine can be quite confusing and difficult. Therefore, you do want to go for model that features a color coded threading system to tell you exactly where the threads go. There are also some machines that come with special attachments that allow for much easier threading.

4. The Tension

You definitely want to go for a serger machine that comes with adjustable tension. The newer computerized models may even be able to adjust the tension automatically based on the fabric being used.

5. Stitch Types

You then also want to pay attention to the types and the number of stitches that the serger machine in question can perform. Some can perform only a few whereas others can perform dozens. You also want to pay attention to whether you can do decorative topstitching, make finished cover stitches, and even flatlock stitches too. You also want to look for a machine that has different types of stitches for different fabrics.
