What is it?
Lilo is a Brother 2504D Overlocker located at Auaha Central Library. It is the ideal solution for finishing edges and hems professionally and affordably.
An overlocker (also known as a serger) is a special-purpose machine that produces professional finished seams, like those found on ready-made garments. It uses three or four threads to encase the raw edge of the fabric with an overcast stitch, while trimming away the seam allowance. Instead of a bobbin and a single needle, the overlocker has a cutting blade, “loopers” and two needles. Additionally, because overlocking stitches often have built-in stretch, they are the perfect tool for seaming knit fabrics.
