Overlocking
（一）What is overlocking thread
The term “hemstitch” usually refers to a special sewing thread or sewing technique used to create a strong, seam allowance around the edge of a fabric that prevents the fabric from splitting.
The purpose of a lockstitch thread is to provide extra strength and durability to the edges of the fabric, preventing them from unraveling or splitting during washing or wearing. Hemstitching can be done with a specialized sewing machine or by hand. Typically, lockstitch hems are sewn to form a line parallel to the edge of the fabric while holding the edge sections together to create a strong sewn edge.
Lockstitch has a wide range of applications in apparel making, home décor, and handicrafts, where it improves the durability and aesthetics of the fabric, making it more suitable for everyday use.
