overlockers
Seam trimming machines
Overlockers are sewing machines designed to trim fabric edges and encase them in thread simultaneously, preventing fraying while creating a professional finish.
Also called sergers in American English.
The term also refers to people who overclock computer processors—pushing hardware beyond factory speed limits for better performance: The overlockers forum debated cooling solutions.
