I just got it so I haven't had time to experiment too much but I did change the threads with no trouble at all and it works like a charm and I made a beautiful sweater. The VCDs are very helpful with ideas and tips on how to use it. I totally recommend it.

I am a beginner sewer and was making children's clothing on a conventional machine and discovered I needed a serger for a more professional look. I purchased this one after much research and reading many reviews. It arrived in two days (thanks Amazon) and was easy to thread. The first time I followed the directions and after that I remembered and followed the pictures that are printed on the serger itself and it's was very easy. I am continuing to learn the things it does and I have been very impressed so far.
One CON that I would like to mention is that the instructional CD's that come with the serger are just that...CD's. They only play on a microsoft computer, not a Apple MAC, which is what I have. They do not have them in DVD form either so they are pretty much of no use to me unless I borrow someone else's computer. Bummer! I was really looking forward to those instructions.
Other than that...happy serging!!

I have only had this machine for a month- it has managed all the last minute projects I had to finish when my previous serger died-great price- lots of new easier ways of adjusting stitches- I do wish it was a bit quieter-and had more interior lubrication instructions- Thank you J

I have been looking for a dependable serger at a price I could afford for some time to replace an old one, and have spent a lot of time doing online research. This model seemed to have better online reviews than other brands so I ordered one from Amazon. This serger can't be beat for the price (and Amazon has the best price), it out-sews my new Singer Commercial Grade serger like nobody's business. The motor is quieter and the machine has a precision feel and sound like a high quality sewing machine - sergers are notoriously noisy but this one isn't. It doesn't vibrate and shake even at full speed - I had to keep a rubber mat under my old one to keep it from becoming airborne (LOL). The tension is consistent and easy to adjust for different fabrics and stitch widths. It takes a little extra time to change it over to rolled hem and back by removing/replacing the stitch finger, but is still very easy to do if you read the instructions. I will seldom have a need for it anyway so it isn't an issue with me - the narrowest overedge setting will serve my purpose. It easily converts to free-arm by sliding off the side plate, a feature usually found only on higher-priced models. You can do decorative flatlock with the 3-thread setting, you don't have to buy an expensive 2-3-4 thread model to get that capability. It has a couple of instructional CDs in addition to the book, which would be very helpful to beginners. If you are a beginner, just take time to go through the book page by page until you understand what it does and what each stitch is supposed to look like and don't be afraid to practice each one. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend it for anyone just starting out and experienced seamstresses too. It was also recommended to me by a friend who's had hers for several years - she sews full time without any problems from her 1034D and calls it her workhorse. It's a mechanical model so you don't have to worry about expensive computer repairs. Don't let the price scare you off thinking it's cheap quality - I've had three higher-priced models and this is by far my favorite - high price doesn't always insure quality performance.

In purchasing this machine I was highly skeptical and thought I would be sending back after its first run. I have had this machine for a year now and love it! Before purchasing, I read all the reviews and did a lot of research on what type of serger I wanted. I even considered a high quality, $800 serger which created beautiful lingerie edges. After reading several good and bad reviews for this product I decided that I would take a risk with it. I'm glad I did.
I just graduated with a four year fashion design degree, and I would not have made it through my senior year studio without this serger. I specialized in custom designed wedding dresses and this surger's ability to create rolled hems on really delicate and thick fabrics, resulted in a beautiful finished product. Once I discovered the rolled hem function on the machine, I rarely ever surged anything; the rolled hem just seems to look so much cleaner on a finished product. You do have to adjust the threads a little and get use to it with each different fabric you use. Unlike some of the really expensive fancy machines I was use to in the lab, I found that I did have to do a couple of practice stitches and make sure the tension was correct when switching fabrics. After those few practice stitches and some minor tweaking, the machine produces a nice finished edge.
I usually get really frustrated at threading sergers and this was one of my biggest concerns when looking to purchase a serger. This machine is incredibly easy to thread and has wonderful color coding instructions.
Overall I highly recommend this serger. It produces quality work and is highly worth the money.
