Why creators choose the hobbylock™ 2.5

Automatic thread tension for consistent results

Select a stitch and the **Automatic Tension Dial** sets balanced tension—ideal when switching between knits, wovens, and specialty threads. Spend more time sewing and less time fiddling with settings.

2/3/4‑thread flexibility for every finish

Use 4‑thread for durable construction seams, 3‑thread for low‑bulk edge finishing, or 2‑thread for rolled hems and delicate decorative edges. Flatlock options add sporty ladder effects and neat, openwork details.

Differential feed prevents waves & puckers

Dial in the feed ratio to tame stretchy jerseys and lightweight sheers—no wavy edges or ripples. Need texture? Use differential feed for controlled gathering and ruffling.

Comfortable handling with extra presser‑foot height

Tackle layers, lofty textiles, and bulky seams with extra clearance and a generous sewing space that keeps fabric moving smoothly past the knife.

Color‑coded lay‑in threading & easy access

Clearly marked, color‑coded paths simplify setup. The front covers open wide to the looper area so you can see exactly what you’re doing.

High‑speed productivity

Finish garments and projects quickly with speeds up to 1,100–1,200 stitches per minute, while the integrated knife trims and neaten edges in one pass.

FAQs

Can it handle knits and lightweight fabrics without wavy seams?

Yes. Adjust the differential feed to prevent stretching on knits and to reduce puckering on fine wovens. It also enables controlled gathering.

Is threading difficult for beginners?

No—color‑coded, lay‑in threading and wide‑opening front covers make setup straightforward, even if you’re new to sergers.

Can I sew rolled hems and decorative edges?

Absolutely. Use 2‑thread or 3‑thread modes for rolled hems, narrow edges, and flatlock decorative seams with ladder effects.

Does it do coverstitch hemming?

The hobbylock™ 2.5 is an overlock/serger only; it does not coverstitch. For coverhem and chainstitch, use a dedicated coverstitch machine.
