Coverstitch Machine vs. Serger

The Elna eXtend covermax is a dedicated coverstitch machine.

Coverstitch machines create flexible hems, decorative top cover stitches, and chain stitches. They're especially useful for finishing knit garments.

Overlock sergers trim and finish raw fabric edges while forming overlock seams.

The covermax does not replace a traditional overlock serger. Instead, it makes a wonderful companion to your regular sewing machine and serger.
