Love this machine!!

I started with Singer's more basic serger but passed it on to a friend when I found this machine. I love that it does a cover stitch. There's a learning curve but so worth the time. It does a beautiful job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Real review of Prof 5 Serger

I've made everything from curtains to a wedding dress using this machine. It is quickly becoming my go-to machine. When I purchased this about 6 months ago, I was new to sergers and there was a learning curve both threading and learning all this machine has to offer. Singer did a great job with the manual and accompanying workbook! My prior review was deleted-I believe it was getting negative feedback. Fact: this is not a beginner "throw in a bobbin and spool" and your off machine. If you're struggling, be patient, don't give up--you will be rewarded. This machine can do it all. (For anyone thinking I'm too negative: I am a loyal Singer enthusiast owning 4 machines from a basic for travel to embroidery).

I waited a long time for Singer to get the Pro 5 Serger back in stock. I have a 14CG754 and an S0100 serger, so I was only going to use the Pro 5 for overstitching. It turns out that the Pro 5 is such a solid, easily threaded machine that I have not used either of the other sergers since. I guess I might sell them. The Pro 5 has a little switch type thing to thread the lower and cover loopers that makes threading them a breeze. You also do not have to search through your gear to find the spreader when you are not using the upper looper because it is attached to the upper looper. The best feature is probably the automatic tension setter. You look up the stitch you are using and set the dial to the number. Furthermore, the lookup table is printed on the machine. You can tweak the tension, but I have not had to. The Pro 5 is the only serger you need.

Beautiful seams with the sharpest blades.

I bought this machine about 7-8 years ago. It took a little bit to learn how the machine operates but it was so very worth it. I currently have a Baby Lock Triumph but that is only due to the air threading and if a thread breaks you didn’t have to rethread the entire machine. Other than that i think this singer Serger takes the cake on it’s beautiful seams and the knife cuts like butter giving your finished edge that sleek look. If they made this machine in an air threaded model i would so buy it again. I really dread using my baby lock bc it just doesn’t come out nearly as clean and smooth. Lesson learned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using my machine over a year now and it is perfect! It does everything I need and more! I have done clean seams and hems. It was easy to set up and use.

A great machine that does so much! But it does take some practice to get going, especially threading the loopers. The directions could be a little clearer in the manual, I relied on some YouTube videos for extra help. However, once I got it right, the stitches are beautiful, I did not need to adjust anything so far, and I am sure I will get years of use from it. I took off one star for the lack of clarity in the manual.

Since 2009 I have had a love hate relationship with my Huskylocks15. I was hesitant going from a 4 thread to a 5 thread worried about the love hate relationship again. I followed the suggestions in reviews by experienced seamstresses and read the manual and workbook prior to the machines arrival. I chose this machine because I mainly sew extremely thick material and the machine is designed with a higher presser foot. I was also drawn to the automatic tension adjustment, since that seemed to be the main cause of my love hate relationship with my Husqvarna machine. Since recieving the machine, my production has improved tremendously! I have gad 2 issues so far. 1. needle broke, which was my fault. 2. somehow thread got stuck between the needle plate and feed dog. Absolutely no idea how I did it, wasn't easy to remove, but that's it. I sew multiple layers of fleece,flannel sometimes felt and a rubbery fabric. I am loving machine!

Love the features & the simplicity of this unit.

I purchased this machine in September 2023. I am fully self taught on sewing. I purchased the 5 thread machine because I thought down the road I may need to use 5 threads. I received the machine in September 2023 & didn’t take it out of the box till November. Once you understand how to thread the machine it’s simple. Singer has taken the guess work out of the tension settings. This machine saves hours of sewing with the single needle machine. This serger has made me a better sewing person & has boosted my confidence. I also own the Singer HD 6800C the two make a great pair. I also didn’t get the free feet as a perk but, did get a bonus Iron. Do not be intimidated by this unit. It is simple
