Merrow 18A 1/2" Rolled Crochet Stitch Blanket Industrial Sewing Machine

Merrow 18-A Rolled Edge Crochet Stitch Sewing Machine

The Merrow 18-A is a refined version of the iconic 18E, engineered for high-performance rolled crochet stitching. Specially designed for producing a 1/2" rolled crochet edge, this industrial sewing machine operates with a single thread, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency.

Advantages of the 18-A: The 18-A delivers a classic, decorative rolled crochet edge that has been a preferred choice for blanket and garment finishing for decades. Capable of operating at speeds ranging from 1000 to 1400 stitches per minute, this machine excels in production environments, offering exceptional durability and minimal downtime.

Why It Stands Out: As a trailblazer in the industry, the 18-A embodies nearly a century of innovation. Merrow's mechanized crochet sewing machines have set the standard for quality, and the 18-A continues this legacy with its refined design and reliable performance.

How It Excels: Equipped with a unique guide system, the 18-A ensures precise material rolling during stitch formation. This, combined with Merrow’s cam-driven technology, guarantees a consistently flawless crochet stitch every time.

Where It’s Used: Ideal for use in large production facilities, small businesses, and home settings, the 18-A is perfect for edging blankets, pillows, shawls, hats, and mittens. Its versatility makes it the go-to machine for small to medium production runs of rolled crochet applications.
