Ideal for sewing decorative and finishing stitches on linens, formal wear, and stretchy fabric, this 3/4 serger from Brother includes 22 built-in stitch functions and interchangeable creative feet. Stitch functions include 3-thread overlock, 4-thread overlock, narrow hemming, rolled hemming, and ribbon lock. The machine can also be used to form gentle gathers, join laces, sew spaghetti straps, and create fabric flowers for formal gowns. Its color-coded set up is convenient, quick, and straightforward, and the foot pedal offers sensitive speed control. For added efficiency and precision, the machine includes stitch width control, outside differential feed control, lay-in threading, the F.A.S.T. lower looper threading system, and an easy-to-remove stitch finger for narrow or rolled edges. It calls for standard sewing machine needles, and its flat surface converts to free arm for pant hems and cuffs. The serger comes with a full set of starter accessories, including a soft cover, a blind hem/multipurpose guide foot, a gathering foot, and a set of needles. A removable trim trap and a cleaning brush keep operation tidy. Additional feet are available separately for creating blind hem, pin tuck, and flat lock stitching. Brother includes a thorough instruction booklet with this model as well as CD-ROMs for operation tips and techniques. The machine carries a five-year limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

 Very easy to use Highly recommend! September 7, 2010
M. Sayers (texas)
I have been using my mom's 30 year old Kenmore sewing machine for little projects, but have started selling little Pillowcase style dresses in my Etsy shop: [...] and needed something that would allow me to make dresses without lining them & finishing the raw edge. I wanted to give it that professional finish. This machine is soooo easy to use! I love the finishing stitches! While I have been sewing for 20 years, I highly recommend this machine to even a beginner!! The manual & dvd is perfect with step by step instruction!
Another raving review for this little serger August 23, 2010
Ellie Bean (North Carolina)
As many of the other reviews state, this really is a super little machine for the price! I've been sewing for 40+ years and consider myself an intermediate sewer/quilter, yet this is my first serger. I find it very easy to thread -- really no more difficult than an ordinary sewing machine if you just follow the color codes for each thread and use the provided tweezers for threading the small needle/looper holes. I've already completed 3 projects using the various stitch capabilities. Each time I change thread color I make it a point to re-thread from the beginning just for practice. The included CD's provide additional visual instruction and are worth viewing. I'll mention that the first machine I ordered got lost in transit, but as soon as I notified Amazon they shipped another one to me overnight at no additional shipping cost -- Kudos to them! If you're looking for an inexpensive serger without a lot of bells and whistles but can do the job this is it!
So far it's a good machine August 23, 2010

I bought this for my mother to replace her White and she has been using it non-stop since with no issues whatsoever! Shipping was fast, product arrived in tip-top shape. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a great serger.
Great value August 21, 2010

This machine works well and provides lots of different serging options. My favorite feature right now is the blind hem foot. It is also easy to adjust the tension of the threads to get a line of stitching that is neither too tight or too loose. The machine is made of strong plastic and seems sturdy -- you'd have to spend much, much more to get the same machine with more metal components.
The serger is easy to thread, but you do ave to finesse the pedal if you want to serge at a lower speed.
My biggest complaint is that the instruction booklets (CD and paper formats) could have been a little better written. I have a hard time understanding some of the diagrams. That having been said, the booklets do have a lot of information.
