I was a little gun shy as the first serger I owned was a beast. It was impossible to thread and so many other issues. I was afraid to change the thread on this machine but I read the directions, followed them exactly and was amazed, IT WORKED!! It's very easy to use. Love it.
Instruction booklet is generic, not specific to machine I bought. Videos dark and hard to follow. I would prefer better instruction book with pictures. Poor communication with company trying to get information,
I have had 2 Singer Sergers, after a year, both failed, ordered 3rd decided to return, would not serge properly???? Did extreme research on Brother Baby Lock 1034D. Finally purchased and I am thrilled beyond words, much easier to thread and there is not constant thread breakage, etc. Very happy with purchase, gotta end review, ready to sew.
I received this for Christmas. I don't know if I would've picked this one out since it isn't carried or supported at my local fabric store, however, I love it. So far, so good. The online videos really helped me break the ice to begin sewing on it. This is my very first overlock machine and I'm very happy thus far. And a different service store within 7 miles does offer free classes! I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked.
