The Advantage of the HAND-HELD

The Merrow Hand-Held Butt-Seamer is an industrial piece of equipment that allows the operator to sew at multiple angles and positions and from multiple locations. It offers true portability and unmatched maneuverability, filling the gaps left by stationary butt-seamers.



WHY it's better

The Hand-Held sews a wide 5/8" butted seam on wovens, knits, and lightweight non-woven material. Like all Merrow butt-seamers, it sews a uniform and flat stitch and won't lap or bunch material within the seam.


HOW it's better

The Merrow Hand-Held sews at a brisk 20 ft./min (6m/min) and is a single thread machine with cutters. Like all Merrow Butt-Seamers, it is a true serger and is affixed with fabric cutters to ensure that material is seamed smoothly and in a straight line. It weighs a paltry 8.75 lbs (~4kg) and if necessary can be suspended from a weight absorber.


WHERE it's used

The Merrow Hand-Held is used for any application requiring a butted-seam; it is frequently used at the end of a continuous process to repair damaged or skipped seams. Although it is broadly used throughout the textile industry, its appeal extends to any industry where material is seamed as part of a continuous process.

Merrow Portable Machine Advantages

HERITAGE

Since 1838 Merrow has manufactured the world's best overlock sewing machines. A Merrow Machine is built to sew a more precise stitch and operate longer than any other competitive sewing machine in its class. Merrow Machines are engineered and manufactured more carefully, designed to last decades, and supported with a network of 156 agents in 65 countries. The Merrow Sewing Machine is The Most PRECISE and TOUGHEST sewing machine manufactured in the world
Overlock stitching was invented by the Merrow Machine Company in 1881. Merrow's original three-thread overedge sewing machine is the forerunner of contemporary overlocking machines. Over time, the Merrow Machine Company pioneered the design of new machines to create a variety of overlock stitches, such as two, and four-thread sergers, the one-thread butted seam, and the cutterless emblem edger. Today Two- and three-thread formations are also known as "merrowing".

Since 2006 Merrow Machines are engineered and built in Fall River, MA.
