Overlocker wanted
« on: March 10, 2024, 12:04:35 PM »
I'm looking for an overlocker for one of my (adult) DDs. She sews a lot and is looking for something reliable but without the investment of brand new. She lives in Merseyside and I'm in Cumbria but we're happy to travel for pick up.  If anybody has an overlocker or knows of somebody who has one that they no longer need we would be interested. I've advised her to avoid Singer, Lidl and the like. Thank you.

@coffeeandcake my Singer overlocker does a superb job, never had a problem with it, didn't break the bank and did things I was interested in that many higher end machines couldn't do. I specifically needed a tiny narrow rolled hem and the Singer aced it.

Like any used machine you need to be sure it's working properly but I certainly wouldn't shy away from an overlocker from Singer. Some of their machines, yes.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Thank you @Morgan. I've been messaged by somebody on the forum and hope to have something in the next couple of weeks.
