“The Kenmore Serger Sewing Machine is a must to have for sewing.”
I have owned a Sears Kenmore Serger Sewing Machine for about nine years now. I feel it is a must to have for sewing. The problems I have with this serger are threading the threads. They can get complated at times. I leave my threads threaded at all times. If I break a thread I don't have to go thru...

This machine is noisy and not as easy to thread as some other models on the market (the lower looper has no threader mechanism: it must all be done with tweezers through two open panels), but it is compact and does the job adequately.
It doesn't feel like a solid, well-built machine when stitching: much...

Kenmore Serger Sewing Machine Reviews
Bought this for someone else and the feedback after using it for over 1 year is that it is reliable and portable. It doesn't come with a carrying case and I don't think they make one for this machine, but it is still portable. Perfect for someone who is taking a sewing or serger class. Although the outer casing is made of plastic, it is a highly reliable machine.
Several weeks ago I purchased the Kenmore Serger Sewing Machine and was very disappointed and after 1 week I returned it. I tried for 1 week to make this machine be something that I could use for years. I am not new to operating a serger machine, and found this machine to be very cumbersome and very difficult to thread. I watched the accompanying DVD several times and still I was unable to make this machine serge for more than 4" before the thread would break and then I had to rethread all over again. My first sewing machine in the 1960s was a Kenmore and I found it to be very easy to...

It may seem daunting, but it is very easy to use, especially if you just tie on your thread to the starter threads that are pre-threaded in the machine, and then just pull your own thread through. You will be ready to go! I have already used it one one garment, and got fabulous results.
I bought this machine about 2 years ago. I have sewing experience(SAHM sewing for 2 girls and 1 boy), and have used a couple of different kinds of sergers (babylock and a bernina). I was looking for a good, inexpensive serger that would work for me for many years to come, and for many different projects. This machine has been great. I have used it on a flower girl dress, easter dresses, and to sew on jeans. I think I have broken one needle, and that was because I serged over a pin. It threads very easily, I ususally use 3 threads, but has the capability for a 4 thread 2 needle set up.
Overall...
read full review »I recently purchased the Kenmore serger. Finally, one I can use. This is my 3rd serger in the past 2 years. I thought it was just me. They took forever to thread, then finally when threaded, after a couple of stitches, the threads would break. Well, I have the same thread, the same knowledge, but now with this serger, NO PROBLEMS! I threaded it right on the first try with no problem. Switched from blade up to blade down with no problems. Did gathers, rolled edges, and overlock without having to re thread one time. I made a rice bag, eye glass cases, and 2 pillow cases in the past 2 hrs. I love...

I loved it!!!
the size is great and it works perfectly fine;
having so many stitches gives you a wide range of posibilities.
Its super easy to understand everything since the instructions guide you perfectly fine, with images and everything.
It does make noise, but I suppose all sergers do.
