Ideal for cleaning up fluff, lint, un-picked threads and off cuts from your overlocker / serger. This is not too expensive and would be a very welcom gift for anyone who uses an overlocker / serger.
The Importance of Cleaning
Overlockers and sergers which cut do create a much greater build up of fluff, lint and threads than regular sewing machines. It is important to clean around after using your overlocker / serger as too much fluff and dust in the air can cause breathing difficulties.
Further, the lint and fluff can combine with oil of your sewing machine to cause a gunge over time, which can prevent your overlocker / serger from working properly. This hand held vacuum cleaner will get rid of the fine fluff and you can easily prevent any build up.
There's a lot we like about this ThisWorx vacuum cleaner!
It has a case to store and carry it (although you could always make one using your overlocker!).
It only weighs 2.4lbs so it's very portable and easy to store away. It has a strong suction (although it’s not as powerful as your home vacuum cleaner) and is easy to use. It has helpful precision attachments so you can get right into the back corners or your overlocker / serger or sewing machine and clean it properly.
As it’s powerful and has a range of attachments you’ll probably find you use it for more than just cleaning your sewing room!
Keeping a sewing notebook is invaluable with an overlocker / serger. That applies to whether you are just learning or a complete beginner with overlockers / sergers. If you do a range of projects and work on many fabric types, it's essential to make notes of the settings you used to help you if you ever do a similar project in the future.
This stylish project planner notebook would make a perfect gift for anyone who has an overlocker / serger.
This one has pages laid out for all your projects, for overlockers, sergers or normal sewing machines.
This is such good Value For Money and would make a brilliant (but inexpensive!) thoughtful, useful gift!
A Must-Have for anyone who does any sort of needle craft or sewing! A beautiful, thoughtful and Inexpensive Gift!
These 4.5" (approx. 11.5cm) traditional stork style scissors are often associated with embroidery but the long, fine and sharp points make them essential for unpicking or removing stitches with precision.

These are an inexpensive and a wonderfully thoughtful gift! Or treat yourself! You can never have too many pairs of these scissors!
