Best Answer

Serged stitching is the kind of stitching you find on the inside seams of ready-to-wear garments. This stitching is done on a machine called a "serger". A serger is threaded with 2, 3, or 4 threads at once. It sews, binds, and trims all at the same time.

What is a surge hem?

A "serged" hem is the kind of hem you'll find in most store-bought clothes. It is made with a sewing machine called a "serger" that uses three or four threads and a blade near the needle that trims the fabric as it is sewn. It's called "serged" in the USA but in other parts of the world this style of hem is call an "overlocked" hem. Serged hems are a cheaper style of manufacturing as opposed to "folded and stitched" hems and items like table linens with serged hems are usually quite a bit cheaper, if your thinking of buying table linens keep in mind many people do not like serged hems as they tend to curl outward and also tend to fray.
