She doesn't want an iPlayer though, that's the Beeb's watch-again software stuff. You need to check which consumer semi-durable beginning with i she does want. |

Well obviously. But is that A Good Thing? Would an underlocker be even more desirable? Why do people want things to be overlocked? |

It stops material things from fraying by stitching over the edge...and then sometimes it cuts the edge for you too! 
Not that I know how to use one  |

its the oversewn edging that stops things fraying along the seamline, you can neaten a seam by other means, but this is fast and easy, most modern clothes have overlocked seams |
