Merrow specializes in overlock sewing machines for end-to-end, fashion and technical sewing. Established in 1838, the company has capitalized on the “merrowing” and “merrowed” trademarks, working with manufacturers who use their machines to market “merrow” stitching. In 2010, a new line of custom built industrial sewing machines was launched on the market. The sewing machines designed by this company are handmade and built by hand, and can operate continuously between 2,200 and 5,500 RPM.

The Merrow 18E is considered to be the best crochet sewing machine in the world. This model was built in 1899 and improved over time. Its stitch rivals those made by hand. This sewing machine can be used to edging pillows, fleece blankets, mittens, hats, shawls, fleece play mats and baby outfits. The Merrow 18E runs at speeds up to 1400 SPM. Whether you want to sew quilts, blankets, or thick fabrics, this powerful machine is a great choice.

Like all Merrow sewing machines, this single needle machine is built to last for decades. The Merrow 18E creates a flat crochet that looks exactly like hand sewn stitch. Merrow is the only manufacturer in the world that uses cams, not pistons. Their cam-driven machines stand up to heavy use and produce superior stitch quality. The Merrow 18E runs faster and quieter than other sewing machines.

This model is suitable for both residential and industrial use. Small businesses and large production facilities use this machine regularly. The Merrow 18E is ideal for small to medium production of standard “whip stitch” applications. The machine is built by hand and uses the latch hook system pioneered by Merrow. Users can set this model to sew at a remarkable 10 SPI.

The Merrow 18E is perfect for any sewing room. With this machine, you can easily create professional-quality rolled hems and seam finishes. Crochet produces stitches with a beautiful edge finish on a wide range of fabrics. This machine can be configured for a single or double row border, a specialty stitch for added contrast and color, and a rolled or flat border.

Seamstresses can use this machine on a wide range of materials, including nonwovens, technical textiles, terry toweling, knits, wovens, fiberglass, vulcanized rubber, insulation, and denim. If you need additional features, Merrow will build you a custom machine at no additional cost and stitch your material on the 18E. Customers can also order spare parts and receive them immediately.
