Brother Airflow 3000 Overlocker

Why use an overlocker?

Whether you sew for fun or sew for work, overlockers are essential for producing professionally finished seams. Overlockers cut the fabric as they sew, giving you a clean finish on raw edges. They also encase seams with overlocking stitches, which prevents fraying.

What’s so special about the Airflow 3000 overlocker?

We’re bringing affordable electronic air assisted technology to home use overlockers. But that’s not all:

• Advanced needle threader

• Differential feed of 0.7 to 2mm
• Quick change levers
• 5 – 7.5mm stitch width
• Fast sewing speeds of 1,300spm
• Error LED light and safety stop mechanism
• Loads of included accessories!

Simply insert your thread into the threading hole and ‘whoosh’ our air system guides it through the loopers for you.
