I ordered this serger from Amazon and it arrived safe and sound on my doorstep. Since taking it out of the box I have been sewing away! I really enjoy the ease and simplicity of the Janome 7034D. It came threaded with color coordinating thread and instructions on how to rethread the machine. It was a very simple set up. Basically I was sewing right out of the box after threading! I would certainly recommend this product and Amazon to anyone!

Singer Serger 14CG754 Serger Overlock Review

Singer Serger 14CG754 Serger Overlock

Purchased this item from a retail JoAnns' It was 249.99 on sale, came threaded.
I had to play around with the machine more than I used it, read the reviews here and on JoAnns' site and decided there was a better Serger out there.
Bought a Brother from Amazon, JoAnn only sold Singer.

Now, in defense of the Singer serger machine, it has a much heavier material cutter, less oiling and a heavier steel shaft, collar combination, than the Brother.
Also, when the Singer was serging it did an extremely good job of overlocking, better than the Brother, in my opinion.
After I became used to the Singer form of threading it wasn't as bad as most of the reviews made it sound.

This is a fantastic piece of "sewing luggage". It makes transporting my sewing machine so much easier and much more secure than a plastic case. I don't know why people are saying the extension pull handle breaks unless they are trying to lift with it which shouldn't be done anyway. This trolley has a handle on top sewen very securly and two side handles the same making lifting and moving to and from the car very easy. The extension handle is great for rolling the maching to the location. It is roomy w/ outside pocket, security strap inside to keep the machine from moving and padding. It is a great product. Highly recommend!

Juki 2-Needle, 2/3/4/5-Thread Overlock Machine MO-735 Review

Juki 2-Needle, 2/3/4/5-Thread Overlock Machine MO-735
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I researched for nearly two years before deciding on getting the Juki MO735 5 thread two needle serger with coverstitch. What I found with the Juki is a solidly build mechanical machine that has all the stitches I wanted in a serger but most importantly, the quality of stitches that are superb, balanced and even. It is easy to thread compared to other brands without the jet air. The lower looper has a threading helper built into the machine which places the thread exactly where it needs to be in a hard to reach elbow of the looper. It is very easy to switch to rolled hem, a simple switch slides the stitch finger to a narrow setting, an adjustment to the cutting width, stitch length made for fast conversion. It has lay-in tension discs which aid in the ease of threading this machine. I find the standard tension setting to work for most of the stitches which means there is near zero fiddling with the tensions to get the stitches to look balanced, there is an not auto tenion featute. If I sew with heavy threads or fabric, then adjustment is necessary and to be expected. Although I have not used the chainstitch yet it's threading looks to be straight forward. Coverhem is also beautiful. At first I had trouble with threading for coverhem but that was more to operator error than the machine. The machine comes with two packs of needles. The Juki uses both household 103/705H and JLx2 needles. The household needle capacity is a huge bonus as it is hard to find the JLx2. A nice vinyl pouch with accessories comes standard including spool caps, thread nets, screw driver, and coverhem pressure foot. Also clip-on waiste bin, small tube of sewing machine oil, a pack of JLx2 serger needles, a pack of Schmetz Univeral needles and coverhem extension plate, Inside the Looper Cover there is a handy storage of tools including pack of needles, small screw driver, tweezers, upper looper converter, needle threader, and needle inserter/lint brush. If I had any critique of the Juki MO735 would be the Instruction Manual. In my research I learned this to be a problem, that the manual is not intuitively laid out. However, there is a threading chart to be found at AllBrands website, if you look at Juki mo735 there. It should have a pdf link to save and download. I found this to be absolutely essential when learning to thread this machine because the diagrams are large enough to define detail which is hard to see in the Juki manual. Once I threaded the machine a half dozen times in various stitch patterns, it was very easy to learn new threading variations. As a promotion through Juki, my machine came with eight additional pressure feet including a blind hem foot, an elasticator, gathering, beading, curve/pearl, cording, and piping foot. Normally, the pressure foot accessories at optional and cost about $185 for the entire set of 8. Maintenace is straight forward. I regularly clean away lint which accumulates easily and oiling is required in two specific places on the upper looper arm. The manual is very clear about maintenance. Finally, to get perspective, I am fairly new to the world of sergers, though have been sewing for many years. I was not in the least intimidated by this machine. As I add more hours using it, I will return to update my experience.

The previous reviewer obviously has no idea how to use a serger if it took an hour to thread and was that difficult to operate. This machine works very well. Easy to use and the dvd that comes with it is very good. I would highly recommend this serger. I got on sale for $199 at Sears and have been very happy with it.

JUKI MO644D Portable Serger Review

JUKI MO644D Portable Serger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased this serger after checking out reviews on the Web. Juki seemed to have a good reputation for reliability. It came threaded with the threads cut off & wrapped around the presser foot knob. A lot of people tie on another thread and do not thread the machine.I was determined to learn how to thread it and removed the cut off threads & threaded it with new thread. It was not as hard as I thought it would be but you will need tweeser's and the supplied thread hook. I tested the machine and it sewed perfectly. The machine was quieter than I expected and seems to be well built. I was impressed with the fit and finish of the parts as well as the cast aluminum frame. When operating there is very little vibration.Looks like a keeper, time will tell.

Heavy Duty Serger Overlock Carrying Case Review

Heavy Duty Serger Overlock Carrying Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
On the positive side: The size of the case is perfect for a serger. It is wide enough, with ample room for the serger, the serger's accessories pouch, cords, foot pedal, and for the four thread cones once the supporting thread stem of the serger is lowered.
On the negative side: The plastic with which the case is made of is not rigid and the bottom of the carrying case which I received was curved inwards front and back. The cover did not fit snug over the base. Due to the bent base, there was a 1/2 inch gap in the front and in the back of the case when I placed the cover. Moreover, the two locks of this "heavy duty serger overlock carrying case" are not as sturdy as those of the 5300 Brother Universal carrying case. When I received my serger's carrying case, it had already received a hit, possibly during transport. and the cover's molded plastic hook on one side was broken. Those plastic hooks on the left and right which are an extension of the cover, support the two metal locks. They appear to be weak spots. In my opinion, the 5300 Brother Universal carrying case is by far sturdier, and its two locks seem to be more reliable.
One final note: As soon as I reported the damaged case, the company that sold me the case via Amazon.com were very courteous and they immediately credited my account. As a result, I bought the 5300 Brother Universal carrying case instead, and I am very happy with the 5300 model.

Janome MyLock 204D Serger Overlock Review

Janome MyLock 204D Serger Overlock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Sergers are amazing, frustrating machines. This is the only one I have ever used, but I am assuming that such a complex machine, regardless of manufacturer, is difficult to learn to use. I am not an everyday sewist, and I would say this machine sees about 5 projects a year.
This machine is kind of built for a beginner. It is relatively easy to change from seams to rolled edges. It is easy to remember how to thread, however the provided thread was not high quality and I replaced it soon after learning to thread. Troubleshooting problems was a pain in the neck because after you re-thread the lower looper 5 times and the thread breaks AGAIN, you just want to go back to your little regular machine and zigzag your edges. Then you remember the differental feed, which is a pretty sweet deal, and you re-thread the lower looper after adjusting the tension.
Honestly, this is alot more machine than I need as it is just a toy for me. I would not recommend a serger if you are a hobby sew-er, unless you have alot of patience, and are bored with the 24 stitches your regular machine can achieve. That being said, if you are into knitwear or quilting, a serger (this serger) could be a dream come true.

Purchased the serger as a gift for my wife and she was very excited! Works very well and the price was the same or better than ANY other site, nice not having to shop around. It did everything it said it did and was not a disappointment. The video it came with was a little outdated but very quick and easy in describing what it can all do. I purchased Juki because of the quality in the name brand and not the functions, but from what I hear from my wife it does everything she could need. If you buy the extra feet (like all sergers) than it could do even more. Value for the money, compact and well made.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this serger from Walmart about a week ago. The low price is what lured me in, and I have not been terribly disappointed yet, considering what I paid for it. Sergers are fairly complex and take a lot more patience to operate than sewing machines. You can expect to put at least an hour or two into setting this machine up, and should plan on running a few scraps of fabric through it initially to adjust the tension dials, which can be a bit finicky and over-sensitive. The machine comes with a DVD that is INFINITELY more helpful than the manual, and with a lot of patience and several failed attempts, I was able to thread it correctly and produce a stitch. My only complaint is that the stitching can be inconsistent at times, no matter how much I fiddle with the tension dials, but I cannot say I expected a flawless machine at such a low price. This is a nice machine for those on a budget or who use their sergers lightly. I only use mine for finishing the edges of light-weight fabrics, and it suits my purposes quite well. A more expensive machine would probably function more consistently, true, but I'm thankful there's a serger out there that meets my more stringent budget!

All the speed, efficiency, and creative possibilities of an overlock machine are yours with the Singer 14SH654. With easy access to the lower loopers, the quick and easy capability to make rolled or narrow hems, and the decorative stitch possibilities, this model makes an excellent choice for a first time user of an overlock machine or as a replacement for that older model in the corner.What is Refurbished? When a product is refurbished, it is made to look like and operate as a brand new item should. Many times it is as simple as the box being opened by mistake or for quality checks. Once the box has been opened, that item cannot be sold as new. Items with serious malfunctions are not refurbished, it would cost too much to refurbish them to 'like new' condition. Each refurbished item we feature is completely inspected, rerun down the production line and triple checked for quality before being packed and shipped. Most of the time the only difference between new and refurbished is the brown box and the lower price, which is your gain as an educated consumer. We are so confident with the quality of our refurbished items that we offer a full 30 day return policy with every purchase, so buy with confidence!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this because it was the only one I found that did not look like the grandma print roller bags. Only con about this is the telescoping handle's location, I would have rated this 5 star if it was located on center and not on the side as this creates inbalance due to the weight of the machine--it's annoying to set it down then turn it in the correct position for lifting. In my laziness I tried to see if I could close the telescoping handle and carry it that way, and it's not possible--so don't try it, but this did prove that this bag is pretty durable. I read as many reviews as I could for this bag and there wasn't much as all (like a total of 4 or 5 per googling, so I hope at least this much helps.
