For finishing edges and decorative hems, nothing can beat a good serger sewing machine. Often called an overlocker machine, sergers offer more than a regular sewing machine – loopers for colorized threads, faster speeds, and differential feeds for stretch or thin fabrics. With so many best serger machine options, here is my list of best serger machine models.
