question about sergers
#1
I hope you can help
as far as a serger goes is overcast and over lock the same thing?
I have a serger that I am selling I have never used it and probably won't. a lady is asking if it has an overcast stitich.Isn't that the main stitich of any serger? Isn't that what they do? She has me confused.I have used sergers before and she keeps asking wierd questions and I wonder if shw even knows what they do
Thanks for all your help

I've always thought an overlock stitch can only be done on certain sergers. It's the seam on ready to wear clothes.
On the right side it looks like two straight sewing lines and on the wrong side it looks like a combination of straight and overcast stitches.
But I admit I could be wrong.
I'm very interested to learn the correct answer also, since I'm in the market for a new serger. Karen
