- Speed and Efficiency A serger can perform multiple tasks simultaneously—trimming, seaming, and finishing—which saves considerable time on sewing projects. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for small-scale manufacturers and designers.

Furthermore, there is a growing debate about the implications of automation on employment rates, particularly in regions where hand-sewing is a cultural staple and a source of livelihood.

It is essential to recognize that the perception of value plays a critical role in consumer decision-making. As brands continue to educate their customers about the benefits of double needle stitching—such as increased garment lifespan and improved fit—there is potential for greater acceptance of higher retail prices. Sustainability and ethical fashion are also influencing consumer preferences; shoppers increasingly seek out products that offer durability as part of a conscious lifestyle choice. This trend aligns perfectly with the advantages of double needle stitching, making a strong case for its adoption despite its higher initial costs.
