Great machine!

After reading other reviews I was a little hesitant to purchase this serger but it was a good price so I decided to go for it. I was pleasantly surprise at the ease of learning how to thread the machine. The DVD included was excellent. This is my first serger so I can't compare it to the ease of threading/using others; however, the hardest part for me was actually threading the two needles. I am right- handed and the placement of the needles versus other parts made it a little difficult to get to the needles' eye to thread. Using the included tweezers helped, and after a couple times I found it much easier. Noise level was another issue I was concerned about but it doesn't make any more noise than my sewing machine. So far I'm loving it.

New and fun tool

This is a reasonably priced serger that is perfect for a beginner. It has lots of options that make it seem like a more expensive one. This is the first serger I have owned and I am very happy with it. It is easy to use and takes very little time to learn how to use it. I was expecting this to be MUCH more complicated than it is. It has a nice assortment of features: 1 or 2 needles, stich width adjustment, option to not use the knife, and the color coded threading guides are fantastic for a beginner. I don't see myself outgrowing this very soon.

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. I purchased this serger 2 years ago. The tension was good only one time - the first time I used it on a garment. After that, I changed tension since I was sewing rayon instead of cotton. I have lost hours and hours re-threading and changing the tension. I was never again able to adjust even with the same thread and fabric I was successful the first time. This was my the most trusted brand as I also have Quantum stylist. Now, I am trying to sell it so that I can by other brand serger that doesn't have threading / tension problems. I should have believed more into the reviews that were pointing out on "potential tension/threading problems". I hope Singer improves its products in the future.

Sorry I made this purchase

I have yet to sew anything with this machine. It is impossible to get the tension correct, hard to thread, won't stay threaded, the hooks in the back keep catching the thread and on and on it goes. Today as I brought it out once again fabric got caught up in the thread and needle and not only broke the needle but bent it upwards also bending the little thread guide above the needle. I am not sure it is worth taking in to see if it can be fixed. I should have followed my gut feeling about this machine and returned it to the store.

tension knob broken
on April 10, 2023

I bought this machine several years ago and have loved it until the tension knob just spins after I adjusted the tension. I heard something pop... now no tension on the orange thread. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix this as repair shops are not very close to home.

A great product for value! The machine works great and is easy to thread. The instructional DVD is very helpful. The extra presser feet work wonderfully also.

Tension dials

The tension dials are hard to turn and 2 of them are falling apart. Love this machine, but would like to get those dials fixed.
