MG-1DM Applications
The Advantage of the MG-1DM
The Merrow MG-1DM is a railway mounted, one or two-thread butt seaming machine that is used for joining the edges of fire retardant mattress enclosures.
WHY it's better
The MG-1DM sews a 3/8" butted seam at high speed. It can easily be configured to sew with one or two threads and is designed to sew with para-aramid thread for applications that require fire retardant materials. The resulting seam is stronger, neater, and more cost effective than alternative joining methods.
HOW it's better
The MG-1DM is designed to be mounted to an automated or semi-automated railway and this "push button" operation reduces high labor costs associated with glueing or tacking. Like all Merrow machines, the MG-1DM is simple to install and maintain, and can be serviced with Merrow's full line of spare parts.
WHERE it's used
The MG-1DM is used by the largest mattress companies in the United States to sew the fire retardant sock that encloses foam mattresses. Because the MG-1DM is more efficient and easier to maintain than glueing or tacking applications, it is the method of choice for mattress cover seaming.

Merrow Machine Advantages
HERITAGE
Since 1838 Merrow has manufactured the world's best overlock sewing machines. A Merrow Machine is built to sew a more precise stitch and operate longer than any other competitive sewing machine in its class.
Merrow Machines are engineered and manufactured more carefully, designed to last decades, and supported with a network of 156 agents in 65 countries. The Merrow Sewing Machine is The Most PRECISE and TOUGHEST sewing machine manufactured in the world
Overlock stitching was invented by the Merrow Machine Company in 1881. Merrow's original three-thread overedge sewing machine is the forerunner of contemporary overlocking machines. Over time, the Merrow Machine Company pioneered the design of new machines to create a variety of overlock stitches, such as two, and four-thread sergers, the one-thread butted seam, and the cutterless emblem edger. Today Two- and three-thread formations are also known as "merrowing".
In 2010 Merrow Machines are engineered and built in Fall River, MA.
DURABILITY:
Quality of Materials
Our parts and machines are handcrafted and handbuilt
Cams NOT pistons -- Proprietary Cam Technology - Different from all other Sewing Machines
We're the only manufacturer in the world building Cam-driven sewing machines that stand up to heavy use. Merrow's Cam-driven machines produces a superior quality stitch. Using sophisticated 5-axis computerized milling machines, we've succeeded in developing proprietary high-technology components offering faster, quieter, operation and remarkable durability.
Merrow Cams are Machined to Exacting Dimensions Tolerances are held to .001: the tightest in the industry. They have been designed to operate continuously between 2200 and 5500 RPM. Merrow Cams allow a Merrow Machine to create a perfect stitch while ensuring that the sewing machine will last a lifetime.
Special consideration should be paid to the intricacies of Merrow's Cam Technology:
- The Cam groove width and the final surface finish of the Cam groove are created with proprietary manufacturing technology that allows all sides of Merrow's Cam to have an equal, highly polished and uniform steel surface, this results in an approximate coefficient of friction, when lubricated, of .06 or lower.
- Cam gear teeth are cut to a unique specifications with the sides of each tooth shaved to create a proprietary profile. This reduces heat when running.
- Hardness and metallurgy of the Cams are continuously modified, improving the durability of the Cam. The Benchmark for the durability of a Merrow Cam in continuous operation is more than 30 years of operation without failure.
VERSATILITY (for OVERLOCK SEWING):
Sew thousands of different Material Types
Woven Fabric, Knit Fabric, Terry Towel, Denim, Technical Textiles AND Nonwovens. While the machines sew exceptionally on mid-weight woven fabrics, it performs well on a huge number of materials from vulcanized rubber to fiberglass to insulation.
With more than 645 different needle plates and feed dogs, we can modify the sitch to accomodate more demanding fabrics
