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.

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.

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.

Singer 14SH654 FreeArm Overlock Sewing Machine Serger Review

Singer 14SH654 FreeArm Overlock Sewing Machine Serger
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!

I have really enjoyed using my blind hemmer. It is very smooth, easy to operate. The learning curve is very minimal because it has one single function and that is to hem. You can hem a garment in no time flat. It is much better than the blind hem feature on most sewing machines.

You'll marvel at how quickly you can lengthen, shorten, or replace hems in pants, skirts, coats, drapes, and linens with a professional finish not possible on conventional sewing machines. The Blind Hemmer produces a completely invisible hem using a standard easy-to-insert household sewing machine needle. It features slender free arm, dial adjustable stitch depth, dial adjustable stitch length with skip stitch, and a built-in light that illuminates the working area. Lightweight and portable.

Well first off the little instructions that came with the foot are LACKING, and than the foot its self was kind of dissapointing, it doesnt put much tension on the elastic so you still need to put gentle tension on the elastic. I have decided to make a casing for elastic instead of using the foot whenever possible but its better than a zig zag.

This is my first serger. I'm thrilled with the instructional video it came with, the easy to use manual, and the quality of this machine. Nancy recommends practicing threading daily until you're comfortable. It didn't take long! Adjusting tensions is also clearly explained. It has a number of features I couldn't get without spending much more money and comes with lots of accessories. I easily found the needles online too. I can hardly wait to try out all the stitches this machine is capable of. I'm an experienced seamstress but a novice about serging. I feel confident I'll be able to use the EZ Lock without difficulty. I'm very happy with the speed and simplicity sewing is now. I'll always have my sewing machine - but boy am I glad I finally bought a serger!

Brother 2340CV 2 & 3-Needle, 3 & 6mm COVERHEM STITCH Review

Brother 2340CV 2 and 3-Needle, 3 and 6mm COVERHEM STITCH
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just bought this coverhem machine from Kens Sewing. Five minutes after unpack I had a lovely, perfect 8" coverhem sample. That was yesterday. Today I have a lovely, new t-shirt with painless, perfect hems and bound neckline compliments of this machine.
The machine isn't high-end (results are tho) but I'm thinking that it's going to help me puzzle out why my 4yo, $1500 Bernina overlock/chain/coverstitch can't make--never has--anywhere near an acceptable coverstitch let alone a chainstitch.
High-end, schmi-end. This.Bro.works.good
Oh, and, Ken has the best price (far as I can tell) in the US. Also, having fumbled the initial order I created an immediate customer service test. Ken and crew passed w/flying colors. I am one happy camper.

The cover stitch is what gives garments their professional looking finish. This stitch (also called a "cover hem") was previously available only on sergers, and then, often only on the highest-end sergers.The Brother 2340CV is a more economical model, offering a wide 6mm, triple-needle cover stitch and a chain stitch. Because they only do these two types of stitches, they're extremely fast-up to 1,000 stitches per minute-and much easier to set up and use. They look more like regular sewing machines, and offer familiar features that make them easier to use than sergers, like a full size sewinbed, free arm sewing, vertical needle drop and a one-hand thread cutter.This machine will allow you to hem T-Shirts, attach lace, attach taping and binding, sew decorative stitching, attach elastic, attach lace, do belt loop stitching, circular hemming, attach elastic lace & hem stitchingThe cover stitch is especially suited to stretchy fabrics like knits, as well as the popular new blends of traditional woven fabrics with a small percentage of stretch fiber added for extra flexibility. The cover stitch is a serger-type stitch made without the knives (no fabric is cut), so it can be used not only to finish hems, necklines, collars and cuffs, but also for decorative effects in the middle of the fabric. Cover stitches can be made with two or three needles. Chain stitch One-needle, two-thread double chain stitch. For tape binding, joining woven fabrics and decorative effects. Expand your creativity with Brother's advanced technology.-Easy to follow lay-in threading.-Color-coded threading guide.-Fast and easy looper threading system.-Dial adjustment for stitch length.-Stitch length 2mm to 4mm.-Presser foot pressure adjustment.-Slide lever adjustment for differential feed.-Differential feed for perfect seaming on virtually any fabric type.-Eliminates the wavy or stretched appearance of stitches on fabrics.-Snap-on presser foot

JUKI MO654DE Portable Serger Review

JUKI MO654DE Portable Serger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my fifth serger and, so far, my favorite. For the last five years I have mostly sewn on a Baby lock Imagine, and then a Baby Lock Evolve. These are excellent, very easy to use sergers, but very expensive. In addition, I found the Evolve, the one I used the most, had trouble going over thick seams. When the Evolve was getting serviced earlier this year I bought a vintage Juki (MO-104) and loved it but decided I needed a more modern one with differential feed and a rolled hem.
This Juki has it all. It is very stable--never moves around when you're serging--has a wonderful knife set-up that cuts through anything smoothly, and has a beautiful rolled hem, either two or three thread. It doesn't have the jet air threading of the Baby Locks, but threads easily. Everything is color-coded. The tensions are also very easy to set. I haven't had any problem with them at all.
I would advise you also to order a good, basic serger book because the instruction book with this Juki doesn't explain how to make the variety of stitches that are possible with it. With most of them you just have to tweak the tensions or stitch length or width, all easy to do on this machine. The electronic, high end machines (that go for a thousand dollars or more) will either make these adjustments automatically, or tell you how to do them on the screen, but I find a good serger book works just as well, and is much, much cheaper.
Do be aware that this machine does not have a coverstitch, or coverhem, as it is sometimes called. It's the two or three thread stitch used to hem knits. To get this stitch you need to buy an expensive, high-end combo serger, or a separate coverstitch machine. I like having a regular serger, this one in particular, and a separate coverstitch machine, like the Janome CP 1000.
This is shipped from Ken's Sewing Center, a store with an excellent reputation in the sewing community. Mine arrived quickly in perfect shape, but had there been a problem I know Ken's would have taken care of it.
Really, this serger is an amazing deal. Juki is an excellent brand; I understand they make the Bernina sergers as well.
Update: When I reviewed this serger it was $399.00 and was shipped by Ken's Sewing Center. I see now that the price and vendor have been changed. It is still an excellent serger but not quite as good a deal now.

Singer 14SH6540 Differential-Feed Serger Sewing Machine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this item at Walmart for $229 and was excited to begin sewing my first project. That was a huge mistake. The thread kept popping out of the tension on #3 no matter what I did. I tried tightening it several times, went back to directions repeatedly looking for what I could have done wrong, though everything appeared to have been done correctly. To finish the initial project I was sewing I ended up having to hold thread #3 by hand to create the right tension to finish sewing. Thank goodness for dexterity! The other major problem I had was the machine jumped around a lot on my sewing table as it sewed. It didn't weigh enough to hold it in place, nor were there any suction cups on the bottom to keep it stable. I ended up having to chase the machine down while I was holding thread #3! I'm sure it all looked quite comical, but it was WAY too much of a hassle for me. I returned the item to Walmart, got my money back and went to a local sewing shop and found a Janome serger that didn't cost too much more. The Janome threads beautifully with perfect tension and has little suction feet to hold the machine in place while sewing. Going from the Singer to the Janome in the same day made it very clear to me what a cheap piece of junk the Singer is. As a side note, I asked the repairman at the sewing shop about the Singer and he says he won't carry them anymore because they break too often. 3 Months later and I haven't had a single problem with my Janome!
