feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

A coverlock is a type of sewing machine that is dedicated to do a coverlock stitch, or coverlock seam.
A coverlock seam is used for hemming knit garments. It finishes the folded back fabric so it can't ravel and the resulting stitch can stretch along with the fabric.
Coverlocks can be dedicated machines, or they can be integrated in an overlock/serger.
