Originally posted by magkelly Overlock means serger basically. They are very popular but I won't use one myself. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to sewing machines. Simple stitches, no computer, and no sergers, or embroidery machines, ever. Too complicated. I still prefer regular/hand finishing and hand embroidery. I sew on a simple but very good non-computerized Janome/New Home most of the time, unless I'm into going retro for a while and sewing on my old cast iron Singer.
Overlock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thanks magkelly ... My wife used the term "serger" once or twice, but as usual, I did not catch on.
I should introduce you to my wife ... then there might be enough "home budget" left over to get a K-3 .... NAHHHH !!!
(Just kiding folks ... about the K-3 acquisition, that is ... J
)
