PFAFF® Overlock & Serger Machines

Beautiful Finishes Begin at the Edge

A PFAFF® overlock machine—often called a serger—can transform the way you finish a project. By sewing, trimming and overcasting fabric in a single operation, an overlock machine creates clean, durable edges while adding speed and efficiency to the sewing process.

Whether you're constructing garments, working with knits, finishing home décor or adding decorative details, PFAFF® overlock machines offer tools designed to help bring a polished, professional-looking finish to your work.

What Can You Do With a PFAFF® Overlock Machine?

Overlock machines aren't simply for preventing fabric edges from fraying. Depending on the machine and stitch selected, they can open the door to a wide range of practical and decorative techniques.

PFAFF® overlock and serger machines may offer capabilities for:

• Finishing raw fabric edges
• Constructing durable seams
• Sewing stretch and knit fabrics
• Creating rolled hems
• Flatlock stitching
• Gathering and decorative effects
• Finishing garments and home décor
• Working with multiple thread configurations
• Creating coverstitch and chainstitch techniques on select models

Features and stitch capabilities vary by model, allowing you to choose an overlock machine that fits both the projects you make and the techniques you'd like to explore.

Control for Different Fabrics

One of the advantages of an overlock machine is its ability to work with fabrics that can sometimes be challenging on a conventional sewing machine.

Features such as differential feed, available throughout the overlock category, help control how fabric moves beneath the presser foot. This can help reduce unwanted stretching or puckering and can also be intentionally adjusted to create gathering and other effects.

Depending on the PFAFF® model, additional features may simplify thread tension, stitch selection, threading or machine setup—helping you spend less time preparing and more time creating.

Is a Serger the Same as an Overlock Machine?

Generally, yes. In the United States, the terms serger and overlock machine are commonly used to describe the same type of machine.

PFAFF® generally uses the term overlock, while many sewists are more familiar with the word serger. Either way, these specialized machines are designed to trim fabric and create an overcast stitch around the edge as you sew.

And while an overlock machine complements a traditional sewing machine beautifully, it doesn't replace one. Each brings different capabilities to your creative space.
