my first serger
on July 24, 2023

Started using my new Pro5 serger little over a week ago. I'm already envisioning the garments and household items I can make. This is my first serger and it was intimidating out of the box. I've owned several sewing machines and one embroidery but I've never seen anything like this. Like a lot of other first timers I looked for help on social media but didn't find any learning shortcuts so I turned to the workbook that comes with the machine. The workbook has been very helpful although I did find an error on a tension setting -- so play with the tension settings as you practice/learn. For other first timers like me, take your time, familiarizing yourself with the manual, label key pages for quick reference. I also labeled everything on the machine. Maybe a little overkill but it's only been a week and I can already take off some of the labels. It really helped with the learning curve. So far I've practiced every day trying different stitches and actually made a few household items. Don't give up. Be patient. Another tip I'm finding useful is to make notes in the manual or workbook when fine tuning tension. There are so many stitches and options. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase a serger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine, havent had much time to work on it yet, but did a test run, stitches look great. I have an older serger from 1997. Has a million miles on it. Just doesnt do cover stitch. Cant wait to put the new one tru its paces.....

I have looked over this and compared it to so many other sergers that I would not get any other. I am a HUGE BROTHER's Supporter and I am willing to have another Singer in my sew room. I have had my other singer for over 27 years. I have used it up.

It is VERY difficult. Not at all beginner friendly.

I was hoping that my young daughter and I would/could learn together but this machine is NOT newbie friendly. I'm assuming you must be experienced in understanding how to operate/thread this model. Disappointed that even with an open mind and trial & error we wasn't able to use this machine. We are going to invest in one that won't take a way the joy that should happen in fun projects.......this one just created stress

Sews perfectly right out of the box. I use it for cover stitching to complement my three other machines while sewing garments. A real workhorse!

Works well. Took me a minute to get situated since I have never used a serger, but once I got it that was it😁. I am satisfied with my seems and will continue to get the most out of it.
