Hi Kaz,

You need to pick out the one that is right for *you* and the kind of
sewing you do and plan to do. Here is some reading to get you
started:

I just bought a 4-thread overlocker and learned after I got it that a
key thing to look for is if an overlocker can do a COVER STITCH. this
is a popular stitch, especially for hems on knits, and if you don't
get a 5-thread overlocker, you can't do this stitch (to the best of my
knowledge).

so in addition to the above reading, I recommend considering how
important the cover stitch is to you. :)

good luck!
