My Collection of Japanese vintage Sergers, Overlockers.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Domestic Overlockers also known as Sergers became available in the 1960s. The overlocker was available well before this, primarily as industrial machines. Below are some of the overlockers in my collection, but first a bit more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan in the 1960s saw the development of the domestic overlocker. These early machines contained very few plastic parts. The domestic overlocker of the 1960s to 1980s can be very well-built machines. However, at this time, as they are in the infancy of the domestic design, they can also be very basic with limited functions, such as width and stitch length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These 1960s to 1980s Japanese machines are the focus of my collection. There may be the occasional later model machine added to this page and even the odd one not from Japan, as I can’t pass up a bargain and the chance to pull apart, look at, clean and possibly restore and repair a sewing machine. Still, I hope that I will stick to the machines that are mainly metal, vintage and interesting. Many of these machines seem to trace back to the original Juki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of websites that show the history of the Juki machines. I found this one most interesting as it had a basic visual representation of the early models, it is in Russian. History of Baby Lock, chronology by year and model<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
