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

No bells, No whistles, just a darn good machine June 24, 2008

This is my first Brother serger. I don't know why I was so reluctant to even TRY a Brother. This is the best machine I have had. As I said, no bells, no whistles, but it does the work. I would definitly buy it again, and would have - actually - SHOULD have bought this before I spent all kinds of money on another brand. Thank you Amazon for having it for sale.

Wonderful serger for a beginner! June 18, 2008
I am a complete novice, with great aspirations for sewing. I did some research and decided on this machine - and am extremely pleased with my purchase! It came pre-threaded with color-coded thread, great directions, and it really is easy to use. I highly recommend this model to anyone wanting to get started with a serger. I am now thoroughly annoyed when I have to pull out my normal sewing machine (rarely, thanks to the knife disable option on this serger!), as it seems very clunky and slow in comparison.

brother serger June 2, 2008
Arrived very quickly, haven't had time to set it up yet, but I used my last Brother serger for almost fifteen years before I had major problems with it. If this one lasts that long, it will be money well spent.

Brother 3/4 Thread Serger May 30, 2008
Product is a good value for the money. DVD tutorials give you good product information on the variety of stitches and how to thread machine. Easy to use and threading in clearly marked. Only gave it four stars because the machine is light weight in construction and at low speeds, foot control is not as smooth as more expensive machines.

This is a great serger. I researched alot and didn't want to spend too much for my first one (not knowing if I would like it or if I was capable of using it). Iam an average sewer. I started up sewing again after 20 years of no sewing machine. Recievd a sewing machine for a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and I just took off!! Started on easy things to get back into the swing of things and slowly progressing and relearning things. I had heard about sergers but didn't know what they did so I started researching. Boy, was I overwelmed. Found this one at a good price and after reading other reviews I thought I would get it. Absolutly no regrets. It is sooooo easy. I thought I would be intimtated but I read the instruction book cover to cover first and it comes with two DVD's to help you along and really see what I had read in the booket. After reading the instruction book and watching the DVD's I had it threaded in 10 minutes. Sewing on it in 15 minutes. Don't forget to take notes when watching the DVD's and every time you use it and adjust it for another project, write down the settings. Will make it much easier. Buy it. You won't regret it.
