expensive

For me is too expensive, when i decided to buy it the main purpose was to sew the neckline, but surprise !! the foot was not included, my error never find a review about this, the feet are very, very expensive, the other problem is whatever i put the thread release number is too tight in the number 1 needle, i change thread and nothing, i am not satisfied, in fact i regret not buying other brand which was a little expensive, but at the end should be the best option, maybe when i can get a job i wish can buy the main foot (double bias tape foot). good luck !

love this cover stitch

Super simple to use & makes sewing with knits easy. Only "con" I can think of is this machine is sold with the wrong needles, you immediately need to switch the needles to stretch needles to prevent any skipping
I would recommend this to a friend!

worst purchase ever

I am sooo disappointed with my decision to purchase this machine, the hardest and most frustrating feature is how to remove fabric from machine when stitching is completed. Doesn't give a clean finished edge as a serger does, the purpose for buying it was I was led to believe it is a sewing/serger all in one minus the cutting blade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Had to send it back

I was so excited to get this serger, it was reasonably priced and had good reviews. However, after many many hours spent learning all about how to use it and successfully stitching on small samples, when I started using it on an actual project the threads would bunch up and the machine would quit after about a 12-15 inches of stitching. As it turns out the tension adjustment wouldn't work on one of the four threads. I sent it back.

Easy To Use

I have my cover stitch machine sitting back to back with my serger and switch threads from the serger to the cover stitch machine when needed. The serger acts as my thread stand. An easy way to release the looper thread at the end of the stitching, is to open the front of the cover stitch machine and release the looper. Pull the looper thread up and through the needle plate, reset the looper, close the door and cut the top threads and then the looper thread after pulling the top threads to the back of the fabric. No knotting or seam sealer needed to lock the thread ends. Practice makes perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Purchase Ever
on November 16, 2015
Posted by: Ceanothus

I've had this machine for about 2.5 years now and it has behaved badly almost every time I use it. Stitches are uneven in a very unpredictable way. At best, it will do a sloppy job of stitching. At worst it will destroy the fabric and not even accomplish the stitching while doing that. I'm not an inexperienced sewer (been doing it for 45 years). This is the most unreliable machine I've ever owned. The very crude manual does not include any trouble-shooting advice. I can't even sell it - my conscience won't let me do that to some unsuspecting stranger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like that you can sew with either one, two, or three needles.
