What Cost Changes When Switching From Flatlock to Overlock Seams?

Changing flatseaming to overlocking alters equipment use, operations, seam profile, and potentially labor.

Cost should be evaluated against the finished garment's approved requirements. Changes to material yield, construction, or processing can affect both unit cost and quality; any saving needs validation through revised specifications or samples before it becomes a production instruction. Assess comfort and extension before choosing a cheaper seam.
