The Merrow crochet edge, sewn at production speed.
The 18-E sews a flat crochet stitch along blanket and garment edges. Merrow dates the design to 1899 and states that it has developed the mechanics of the machine since then. Merrow describes the finish as one that rivals a hand sewn stitch in craftsmanship and uniformity.
Merrow states that the 18-E is a single needle, single thread machine, that it is hand built, and that it forms the flat crochet using the latch hook system Merrow developed. Merrow lists blankets, pillows, shawls, hats and mittens among its uses.
