- overlocker for finishing raw edges and construction (this may be replaced with a zigzag stitch or a stretch overlock stitch on the sewing machine);
- sewing machine for joining small pieces;
- coverstitch / coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem and sleeve hem edges (this may be replaced with a twin needle on the sewing machine).
We recommend using specialty ballpoint needles when sewing knits on a domestic sewing machine. When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
