Serger Sewing Machine

Description
A serger sewing machine, also known as an overlock machine, is a specialized sewing tool that simultaneously trims fabric edges and finishes seams to prevent fraying. Members use it at the makerspace for creating professional-looking garments, stretch fabrics, and home textiles, enabling them to produce clean and durable seams in their sewing projects.
