What makes the FY525 different
✔ Easy manual threading lower looper
Threading is often the biggest hurdle with an overlocker.
The FY525’s lower looper layout is clear, logical, and far less fiddly than many machines in this class.
✔ 3 or 4 thread overlocking
Choose the stitch setup that suits your project, from strong seams to neat finishes.
✔ Built-in rolled hem
Create professional rolled hems without changing feet or complicated adjustments.
✔ Differential feed
Helps prevent stretching on knits and puckering on lightweight fabrics — essential for modern sewing.
✔ Adjustable stitch length and width
Fine-tune your finish depending on fabric type and project.
✔ Solid, dependable construction
Designed for real sewing rooms, not just occasional use.

We believe the best sewing machines are the ones you enjoy using.
That’s why the FY525 avoids:
-
unnecessary electronics
-
over-complicated controls
-
features that add cost without adding value
Instead, it delivers clean seams, consistent tension, and predictable results — exactly what most sewists are actually looking for.
