MERROW 18A 1/2" ROLLED CROCHET STITCH FOR BLANKETS
Description / MERROW 18A 1/2" ROLLED CROCHET STITCH FOR BLANKETS
The Merrow 18A is an adapted version of the 18E, the original mechanized crochet sewing machine. It sews a 1/2" rolled crochet edge using a single thread.
The Advantage of the 18-A
The rolled crochet stitch of the 18A is a timeless decorative edge that has been the accent of choice on blankets and other garments for decades. It sews at speeds between 1000 and 1400 RPM, making it suitable for production environments, and its durability and serviceability mean it will run consistently with very little downtime.
WHY it's better
The 18A is a pioneer in the industry and has been refined over its nearly century long existence. Merrow was the inventor of the mechanized crochet sewing machine, and the Merrow crochet is the standard of quality for blanket edging.
HOW it's better
The 18A is equipped with a specially designed guide that rolls material within the stitch formation and works seamlessly with Merrow's cam-driven architecture to apply a consistently beautiful crochet stitch.
WHERE it's used
The 18A is used in large production facilities, small businesses and homes. It is often used to edge blankets, pillows, shawls, hats and mittens. With thousands of standard rolled crochet applications, the 18A is the machine to use for small to medium production of these applications.
