I've been using this pretty regular since I purchased it a few months ago. It's nice, has some good options. I like that they didn't send a manual because honestly I look up my solutions online anyway. What I miss from my old babylock machine though is it had a shortcut tool that helped you thread the threads and this new singer doesn't
I am very experienced with serger sewing machine, but this is definitely not for beginners. Mine was not pre-threaded as stated, and it was difficult to thread. It is very noisy as well. I will be returning and buying one that works for me. I really hate it, because Singer was always a good name brand, but I'm not so sure anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Extremely difficult to thread and Singer sewing machines do not come with a manual which makes everything completely impossible to do and use going online does not work for most people I will not buy a Singer sewing machine again! This machine sounds like a tank when you run it good thing I know how to use a surging machine cuz this is not for beginners!

We are sorry that you are not happy with your experience with your Singer HD0450S Serger. Unfortunately in todays market we have had to move manuals to online for ease of finding the manual and to help reduce the cost to you the consumer. On this serger you will find the threading assistance under the front cover when you open it to thread the machine.
Not pre-threaded like the description says. Also doesn’t include thread. Please change your false advertising.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have requested the update to our page and apologize for the error. Please note that pre-threaded was just threads left in the pathway and tied off, no spools of thread were included.
I never worked with a serger. This is my first one. I was scared about threading it. After checking the online manual and watching some videos on YouTube, I was able to thread it correctly and it works very well now. This serger is not noisy at all. It works smoothly. I still have to learn how to use different stitches styles. But so far it is amazing me.
Impossible to thread.... I need a PhD zero instructions other than pictures. I can't get my fingers OR tweezers in to thread nor is there enough light. WORST PURCHASE EVER. feel I threw money away. I've been sewing and used singer products for 25 plus years...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
