    Default What's the difference?

    Between a serger and an over locker machine?

    Thanks

    There really isn't one. Some regulars sewing machines have what they call an overlock stitch but it is only done with one thread. With a serger you can use 2-5 threads depending on how many spools it has.

    EU calls it an overlocker. Here it's usually a serger.
