    It’s good to know that overlock sewing machines are compatible with most fabrics including knitted garments. I’ve been thinking about learning to sew my own clothes since I do like wearing costumes whenever I go to conventions. Perhaps buying an overlock sewing machine would be a good first step since it seems to be quite a versatile tool.
