Blanket Whipping and Crochet Shell Edge Merrow Style Machines.

Merrow Crochet machines remain the industry standard although we can now supply other similar machines that achieve the same results. The crochet stitch forms a beautiful plain edge finish on a wide variety of goods. Merrow's cam-driven machines produce a quality uniform stitch every time.
With the Merrow crochet machine you can finish a variety of articles with a decorative or retentive covering edge. Crochet machines can be configured to produce a rolled (18-A) or flat (18-E) edge, a two-thread stitch for additional colour and contrast (17-F & 15-CA-1), and a single- or double-course edge (15-CA-1).

The original Singer 138K1 is still considered by many to be give the best finish for blankets and other heavy applications where the maximum visual impact is required. The 138K1 gives a 5/8" maximum width of stitch and length of 1/2".

Reconditioned examples of this unique machine are available and we can supply spare parts for 138K1 which we engineer ourselves.
