Review: Great budget basic serger - Love my new serger. mine was too old. This one is a basic one but does all I need it to do, and the price is fantastic. It does the basic serging I do. I didn't find it too dificult to thread. All sergers are a pain to thread. It has a nice tension to start out with so no need to change it.
Review: Wonderful little machine - OK, so first off I'm an experience seamstress. This is my third surgery. I have a baby lock top of the line and then I have a brother and now this little jewel to do easy little pieces. It works wonderful threading it well I would say it's not the easiest, but it's not bad compared to my baby lock, which is completely an air threader. This one takes a little bit of time But once it's done it's great for a beginner. This is a wonderful little machine for an experienced one like myself it's a great little side machine. I highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to thread loopers**
A: The easiest way is to tie on to the Looper threads with the new color, run the machine  until the new color is completely through. However sometimes the thread breaks, knot slips, etc. Take the new color thread and run it by the thread you are replacing, or follow the color guidelines, use the tweezers, which came with the machine to get the right spots threaded.

**Q: Can it handle heavy fabrics like denim?**
A: You need bigger needles and you have to be careful on the seams to go slowly.

**Q: Hi! Can I use this machine like sewing machine?**
A: It depends on what your sewing. There are companies like Ellie & Mac that have patterns and video tutorials where 90% of their garments can be sewn on the serger.  You will still need a sewing machine to do hems.

**Q: Can it be used In Europe with 220/240v**
A: Better to get a machine that's made for 220/240V.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Serger for a good price
*by E***N on May 2, 2016*

I've only played with the machine for about 20 minutes (will post more once I've had some more time with the machine). Here are some immediate thoughts to consider. There is no storage case for the two screwdrivers, needles and tweezers that come with the machine. The machine cover is basically a fancy garbage bag. The upper knife really has to be pushed hard to then turn the knob. It's awkward to do. I do like the differential feed. It does lack a free arm. This doesn't bother me but some people might have a problem with it. The lower loopers don't appear to be any more difficult to thread than most sergers. Set up appears to be very similar to my 30+ year old Singer serger. The machine itself is bigger/wider than my older serger. Serges beautifully. Sewing is as quiet as any other machine I have. Switching to a rolled hem is a snap. Machine is heavy enough to be sturdy. The internal parts I can see appear to all be metal except for the knob on the cutting width. Update 5/17/16: This thing is more noisy than my older serger from the 80s when going at high speeds. The lower looper is a bit of a challenge to get threaded but it is not impossible. Still serging like a champ. Update 9/8/16: After using this for a few months, I still love it. The tension does manage to shake itself out of whack but it's easy to fix by just adjusting a knob or two. I think it's from the vibration of the machine. Still no major problems with the machine. Very happy with it overall. Update 10/10/18: This thing is a tank. Zero issues at all with the mechanics of it.
