 Abstract:

An overlock stitch sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging,
hemming or seaming. Usually an overlock sewing machine will cut the edges of the
cloth as they are fed through (such machines are called ‘sergers’), though some are
made without cutters. The inclusion of automated cutters allows overlock machines to
create finished seams easily and quickly. Overlock sewing machines usually run at high
speeds, from 1000 to 9000 rpm, and most are used in industry for edging, hemming
and seaming a variety of fabrics and products. Overlock stitches are extremely
versatile, as they can be used for decoration, reinforcement, or construction.it is
essential to know its parts and processes.

 Theory:
The overedge, or overlock stitches, class 500, are also widely used in the industry.
Their most particular feature is the fact that the seams are formed around the
edge of the fabrics, instead of just on the top and bottom of the fabric plies.
The word “overedge” finds its origin in the fact that the threads are guided “over
the edge” of the fabric in this stitch type.
knife cuts the edge of the fabric as the stitch is formed, so that a constant
distance is kept between the seam line and the edge (seam width or margin).

Lower looper thread interlacing

The lower looper passes through the needle thread loop, holding it.
The upper looper is moving from its rightmost and lowest position up and to the left.
