The Merrow Stitch is a version of the Closed Blanket Stitch. It resembles the overlock stitch produced by the Merrow Machine. While most Blanket Stitches that secure the edges have similar results on the front and the back, this stitch shows differently.

Merrow is the very well known Brand of industrial, high speed machine that gives you an impeccably ROLLED HEM (like ruffles on a wedding dress) or ROLLED EDGE (like a dinner napkin, handkechief, a motocycle patch). Cute little tops are made in the stores with this type of edging on it.

All modern home overlocker have two needles. If necessary, one needle can be removed or you can just pull out one needle thread.

A merrowed edge finish is done on a surging machine, typically with a matching thread. The merrowed finish seals the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying. A hemmed edge finish is when the seamstress folds over the edges of the fabric and sews the fold down (like the hems on your shirt and pants.)

A serger and an overlocker are different names for the same machine. Americans generally refer to these as sergers, and nearly everyone else refers to them as overlockers. A serger performs an overlocking stitch, which is really more like knitting than sewing.

Make clean borders for different types of patches, such as iron-on or embroidery, with a serger machine. Certain serger brands make decorative stitched edges, duplicating Merrow stitches, such as scalloped Merrow borders.

The four-thread overlock will stitch a chain stitch or a safety stitch as it stitches and overcasts seams (Figure 3). The safety stitch model can be used to sew woven or knitted fabrics. It uses two loopers and two needles. Some four-thread overlock machines convert to do three-thread stitching.

A serger may take a special needle such as an industrial needle with a flat or round shank. Other sergers may use the standard machine needle sizes 11/75 or 12/80 as well as special needles such as ballpoint, metallic or embroidery.

The MG-3U uses lightweight moving parts and needle bearings that are manufactured to extremely high tolerances, permitting the fast and smooth starts and stops inherent in intermittent operations like emblem edging. As a result, sewing edges on an MG-3U assures a uniformly finished, unmatched stitch.

The MG-3U carries a 10 year warranty, though it is expected to run for years after that with routine care. The Merrow Edge is the standard bearer for emblem edging on smaller patches, badges, and insignias. Noticeable for its finish and regularity, the Merrow Emblem Edge is a distinctive mark of quality that can only be made by the Merrow MG-3U.
