Juki MO-6700 (aka serger or overlocker)
Link to the manual
A serger is a type of sewing machine that combines three tasks while you sew. It sews seams, trims off seam allowances, and finishes raw fabric edges. It sews an overlock stitch which basic sewing machines cannot create. This stitch is commonly found in clothing and it keeps stitches from fraying
A Serger can be used for:
- Sewing rolled hems and other types of hems
- Gathering fabric with differential feed
- Sewing knits and other stretchy fabrics (so that the material keeps its stretchiness)
- Attaching elastic to clothing
- Decorative stitches
- Attaching zippers
- Making cover and chain stitches (NOTE: not all sergers can do this – only combination machines can)
- Piecing fabric for a quilt or sewing quilt binding
