I just bought a 4-thread overlocker and learned after I got it that a
key thing to look for is if an overlocker can do a COVER STITCH. this
is a popular stitch, especially for hems on knits, and if you don't
get a 5-thread overlocker, you can't do this stitch (to the best of my
knowledge).
so in addition to the above reading, I recommend considering how
important the cover stitch is to you. :)
good luck!
