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

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.

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.

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.

Well made serger. Like many of the older styles, re-threading after a thread break is a pain SO don't let the thread break! Compact, durable, able to serge multiple thicknesses of fabric and if you keep the blades in good condition (e.g. don't serge over a pin) it will handle all types of fabric from sheet to coarse.

When you want to make the most of your serging time, with professional results, the MyLock 634D is unmatched. It has 2 needles and 2, 3 or 4 thread overlock stitching. Threading is a breeze due to color-coded thread guides and a self-threading lower looper. The MyLock 634D also lets you quickly switch to rolled hemming without changing the needle plate.

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. I find the standard tension settings to work for most of the stitches which means there is near zero fiddling with the tension to get the stitches to look balanced. There is no auto tenion feature but no big deal. If I sew with heavy threads or fabric, then adjustment is necessary and to be expected. Chain stitch threading is easy and located to the left side of the machine. 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 for coverstitch. The household needle capacity is a huge bonus & JLx2 needles can be found at CTUSA, Amazon, and most Bernina Dealers. 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 handy storage for 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 are optional and cost about $200 for the entire set of 8. Maintenace is straight forward. I regularly, after every sewing project or every day of use, clean away lint which accumulates easily; 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. Btw, I discovered that Juki makes Bernina sergers and the Bernina 1300 is the equivalent model to the MO735. One can obtain a Bernina Workbook for the 1300MDA, if that is helpful. As I add more hours using it, I will return to update my experience.
One Year Later... I can not say enough good things about this serger. It has and continues to be a consistant and reliable performer. I have virtually no problems with this machine. It handles every sewing project I throw at it with ease. The quality of stitching, will never cease to amaze me. One of the best sewing investments I have made.

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!

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.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter 3 months ago, and she has been using it quite a bit. She designs and makes costumes, and was able to figure out how to use it without any help from me. She has made about 15 items on the machine, and it seems to be working very well for her, no complaints at all. I got her the gathering foot, and it will make small gathers, but not big bunchy ones, she uses the regular machine with manual gathering for that.

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.

Gosh, after paying a whole lot more for this seemingly professional serger, it started falling apart--literally--after the first few days. The machine vibrates, shakes, rattles--is very difficult to keep steady even after placing it on my heaviest and sturdiest table. Then the upper looper started yanking the thread out of the needles. This one's going back. Problem is, I don't know what to get next. So I am going to try for the Reliable Dreamstitcher. We'll see.

Brother SA188 Open Toe Walking Foot Review

Brother SA188 Open Toe Walking Foot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good little tool and does what it says. It causes the top material to feed at the same time the bottom piece is feeding in, resulting in more accurage placements of the materials. The drawback is that it does not work in reverse. So, it is just right -- a real asset. However, when you get to the end of your stitching, you can't do a reverse stitch to lock it in. In any event, it is well made, easy to install, built so that you can see where your stitches are being placed and I would certainly want one in my sewing machine's tool kit.

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.
