SingerS14-78 Serger with Accessory Kit | Overlock Machine with 2-3-4 Stitch Capability, 1200 Stitches/Minute, Differential Feed, LED Light & Free Arm, White

Love this serger. Easier to thread than expected although it is still somewhat challenging. It works like a charm and perfect for knit fabrics.

Love this S14-78. It was a little off-putting not having a manual in the box, but after sorting the web, I was able to find a pdf copy of the manual in English that I could download to my desktop. It's a great machine. The Youtube video demos are always best for me anyway. It didn't come with a dust cover but that's okay.Overall, I absolutely love it. I am confident with the price, quality, and build that this machine will serve me well.Pros:1. The color coding2. on-deck guides3. easy-breezy threading of the lower looperCons:1. No manual, must download from online (can be tricky to find...absolutely do not pay for it)2. No dust cover3. No info on how to locate/buy additional or replacement feet

This is my first serger and I love it! I have been sewing for years and wanted something that worked better for knits. This machine is clean and modern looking. As other reviews mentioned, it is a little hard to thread but I found a YouTube video that made it very simple. It is fast and quiet -- great machine!

Great machine was pre threaded. Had to pay extra for hard copy manual.

Works great no complaints would definitely recommend

I bought this serger because it was the most similar model to my Singer Serger I purchased, and have used for the last 10 years. When I unboxed the new serger, I immediately noticed it was MUCH lighter weight than my previous model. I should have returned it at that point. My mistake.The overall design of this serger causes constant thread tension issues. Achieving a consistent, even serge stitch is impossible.The worst part is how IMPOSSIBLE it is to thread. I’m very experienced with threading sergers. This one is a nightmare. The diagram on the machine is not easy to figure out, so I went to Singer online, watched videos, etc. the bottom line is this: the threading design, especially the sight lines to the threading mechanism is faulty. Combine that with erratic thread tension, and you will spend 75% of your sewing time trying to thread this machine.Having been a Singer owner for many years, I am beyond disappointed with the poor quality of this machine.After several months of trying to make it work, I have taken it out of my sewing room.

Cutting to the chase: RecommendI’ve wanted a serger for a while. My grandmother used Singer machines so I was somewhat familiar. It’s very easy to thread, change settings etc. strong enough for most household needs, hopefully it holds up over time like previous singers.Pros:* very easy to thread* strong motorCons:* I can’t think of any as yetPLEASE NOTE: Reviews reflect IMHO the “customer experience” using the product, based on the actual performance delivered vs. the product’s description, and/or what its pictures or diagrams may seem to suggest.1 Star: Abysmal customer experience, and/or failed to meet major parts of its description.2 Stars: Poor experience, mostly as described but is ‘second-rate’, and/or an inferior value.3 Stars: Average experience, reasonably meets the expectation promised in its description.4 Stars: Good experience, meets all described expectations, and a reasonable value for money.5 Stars: Absolutely EXCELLENT experience! FAR OUTPERFORMED all expectations!

This serger does not come with an owners Manuel. I had to order one from Etsy for 15$.
