Talk:Overlock

trzynitkowy.SVG error

look closely at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Overlock_trzynitkowy.SVG, the second to last row-- on the left side, the black thread goes behind the yellow thread (incorrectly). The image should be corrected.

Great!

So when did Overlock (serger) become common?

Reader

This article is a bit overoriented to people who already know a bit about sewing. What role do knives play and "hem rolling"? Hackwrench 06:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

I commented out a portion of the following sentence which seems to be NPOV: "The two most common are Juki and Brother, whose machines have come to define a level of speed and efficiency unmatched in the industry." The latter phrase represents a statement of fact regarding Brother/Juki machines versus other manufacturers' machines which is unsupported by any references in the article. This seems biased, and shouldn't be reinserted unless some evidence or opinion by an uninterested party can be found. --Kadin2048 03:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Needs clarification on speed description

The physical meaning of the following phrase is not clear:

Overlock sewing machines usually run at high speeds, from 1000 to over 9000 rpm

What does that rotational speed (rpm) correspond to in terms of the number of stitches per minute, or linear speed (inches per second, centimetres per second, etc.)? --Theodore Kloba (talk) 13:28, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overlock Thread

There is no mention here of the thread (composition, characteristics) used for overlock stitching. Eg a haberdashery sells 'overlock thread', how is this different from 'general purpose' thread? FreeFlow99 (talk) 14:21, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
