Overlocker Needles

Overlocker Needles

Overlocker needles are specially designed to cope with the high speeds and precise stitching demands of overlock and serger machines. Using the correct overlocker needle helps create strong seams, reduce skipped stitches and improve stitch formation on both woven and stretch fabrics.

Our selection of overlocker needles includes options for everyday sewing, jersey fabrics, stretch materials and specialist applications. Suitable for a variety of overlocker models, these needles help ensure smooth, reliable performance whether you're finishing seams, constructing knit garments or producing professional-quality results at home.

Are overlocker needles different from sewing machine needles?

Yes. While some overlockers use standard domestic needle systems, many require specific overlocker needle types. Always check your machine manual before purchasing replacement needles.

How often should I change my overlocker needle?

For best results, change your overlocker needle after around 8–10 hours of sewing or at the start of a major project. A fresh needle helps prevent skipped stitches, thread breakage and poor seam quality.

Why is my overlocker skipping stitches?

Skipped stitches are often caused by a worn, bent or incorrect needle. Replacing the needle and ensuring you're using the correct type for your fabric can often solve the problem.

What's the difference between an overlocker and a serger needle?

Nothing. "Serger" is the term commonly used in North America, while "overlocker" is more commonly used in the UK. Both refer to needles designed for overlock sewing machines.
