Help!
I, have the Merrow Style No: 10577B Serial No: A-3DW
However, it was set for roll-hem serging when purchased.
How do I get the roll hem changed to the 1/8" regular serging
to serge regular dresses, etc.? This machine was built between
1900- 1912. It is as perfect today as when new. Please some-
body help!
Thanks!

Thanks Mr. Merrow!
As soon as I can slow down I will make a pic & send.
These machines, I used while in high school; I was
one of the best sergers, but could operatae any
of the machens at O'brien's pants factory. The
machine I have is like new, yet built between
1900-1912. It runs like new, but I can't remember
how to thread it, or change the serger stitch to 1/8
stitch.I'll send pic asap.

The A series was one of our original platforms. It describes a combination of frame and cam design. All A class machines are very much different... This machine was designed to sew lightweight woven material, likely for general serging. You will be…
Merrow A-3W
Hello Merrow Community,I recently purchased a Merrow A-3w overlock from eBay. According to the serial (59622) It was manufactured in the mid 30's. I was wondering if anyone knew about this model or how the model numbers are made up. Are all A series machines the same? I'm also looking to know the intended uses like if this was built for light/med material or can it handle heavier stuff like double layers of denim or canvas?Do owners manuals exist for them if so does anyone know where I can get…See More

I do something similar with my MG-3U when merrowing patches. When I get back around to the starting point I overlap the beginning a couple of stitches and then with the needle up I slide the patch forward a bit to get the stitches off of the…

interesting! the stitch is not 'tight' like an emblem - i have a better idea what you're shooting for. how close do you think you are now.

I start with about a 4-6" chain.
I start sewing with the edge under the needle.
No cutter,(the material is precut and fixed to a freely rotating platform)
When it comes around to the end I make sure I pull the…
