hops to much,
December 29, 2008
By hoppinawayfrom graham, washington
"I have only had this machine for a week or so but I really like it. my grandma has a husqvarna viking 910 computerized serger. I thought it was awsome but after using this kenmore I'm thinking why in the world would you spend $1200.00 on a serger when you never use it. I think I've used hers 4 times which is 3 times more than her.lol. any way this machine is very easy to thread after glancing at the manual. and you can sew almost anything on it if you adjust the tension for different fabric types. I am very excited to watch the video and see what sort of cool new things I can make with all the different attachments.(need to be purchased) the only reason I rated this product at a 4 is because although I love the speed of this baby I can't use it at it's full potential because it almost hops right off my table.( my grandma's viking is so slow on the fast setting I just want to pull my project right out the back side.) so as soon as I can fix my minor vibration problem my rating will go from a 4 to a 10!"

Great Buy,
November 24, 2008
By Lyndeefrom Deer Park, WA
"I bought this serger a couple weeks ago. I have never used one before. The DVD that came with the serger is great. I set my serger near my DVD player and followed step by step the threading technique and only made one goof which I quickly discovered. The DVD explains the different techniques and is very informative. I think this is a great buy. While it is nice to have tweezers it would have been most helpful to have had a looper threader included in the supplies. You need something to reach underneath and behind where you thread the lower looper. I 'jerry rigged' a hook with some jewelry wire I had to retrieve the thread and then went and bought a long needle threader. I would suggest buying a threader at the same time as purchasing the machine. I have two Kenmore sewing machines which have served me well. One is 30 years old and I'm still sewing on it. I don't think you can go wrong with a Kenmore."

Great starter machine,
August 17, 2008
By Masroefrom Jefferson City, MO
"This is a great first serger. I should have gotten one of these years ago! I do a lot of home decor sewing and really needed to be able to sew overlock seams faster than my sewing machine. This machine does the job quite to my satisfaction. I've tried fairly light-weight fabrics, and even heavy upholstery materials with just the results I needed, strong, fast stitching, and the fabric trimming is great. The threading isn't as bad as I would have thought it to be, and when using regular threads it's easy to just tie on to the old thread for the lower looper and pull through the new thread to avoid some of the difficulty there (still double-check it be sure it's correct). The suction cup feet make it stable, even when running it fast. I'm sure a fancier machine could offer more, but I can't beat this serger for my needs!"

Kenmore Serger Model #16677,
June 16, 2008
By Newtosergingfrom Williamsburg, VA
"I received my serger on Friday, and when I viewed the DVD, I threaded it (which took me 2-1/2 hours). I had made one mistake in threading looper #1 through one place the wrong direction. Once I finally discovered my error, the serger worked perfectly. I made two pillowcases and serged beautifully!!! I had never used a serger before, but will definitely look for projects for which I can use my new serger. Thanks!!!"

Very Smooth,
April 24, 2008
By Sewpleasedfrom Waukee, Iowa
"I purchased this serger. LOVE IT!!!! This is my 2nd serger by Kenmore. My first one I used for 9 years and still use. I am very pleased with the performance. I use the serger daily for my sewing business of baby and skating items. I have no problems with tension or threading. I am looking at purchasing another one just for black thread only. If you have never used a serger before, it takes patience. I suggest playing with 4 different colors of thread and learn the loops. Loop tension is half the battle when learning. Like anything to master, one must practice."

A great value,
April 22, 2008
By Sewgalfrom Cocoa, FL
"I replaced an ancient serger with this one and so far I'm very happy with it. I thought the DVD was very informative and I learned some new stuff even thought I've been sewing for years. Unfortunately, one of the spool holders was missing and I'll have to have them send me one, but I just took one off my old machine and it works fine. For the price, I think this is a fine machine. Its a lot less cumbersome than my old BabyLock machine. if you're new to serging, it takes some practice, but well worth it if you sew a lot."

Ooh La La I love this machine!,
March 8, 2008
By Notamommafrom Kentucky
"I was so excited to be able to get this machine on sale. I have sewed with a Kenmore sewing machine for years so naturally when I went to buy a serger it was going to be a Kenmore. I am a semi-professional seamstress. When I was asked to make some cloth diapers for a friend, I thought a serger would be ideal and I was so right. I agree with the owners manual, I hate that it is printed with English and Spanish on the same page, but it was very easy to get used to. I had some trouble with the looper thread breaking, I then noticed that I was trying to be cheap and buy cheap thread, when I got better thread it solved the problem. I also love the rolled hem stitch, it looks very professional. I make everything with this serger. The $89 I paid for it was so worth it."

EXCELENT,
February 2, 2008
By BLUETfrom NY
"I really can't understand how can somebody be disapointed with this machine and I am a fashion designer so I really make the machine works a lot. Sergers are not for amateurs,you need some previous knowledge on sewing and if you know how to put the threads in a regular one, this is not so so complicate at all, only the first thread takes more time, the rest of them is really easy. And as with every machine is all about practice, no manual is going to teach you a lot and if you need a book to learn even more, there's several of them in the market for less than 20 dollars so come on girls! do not turn your personal frustrations towards this noble serger that makes a superb job!"

GREAT value!,
January 15, 2008
By ankashafrom Northshore of Boston
"I was lucky enough to get this for $99 because my local store had a returned one with an open box. There was no DVD nor was there any instructions. I had those sent to me through Sears. I had the machine working before they arrived howeve; just had the local salesperson guide me through threading a few times before I brought it home. I sew tons of chothes for my kids and it's great to just "zip" through everything now knowing it's not going to fray. Also -- the Sears sewing book is a great book to have anyway if you sew regularly. My friend has a 5- thread serger and it can only really do 2 finish stitches that this one can't!"

"I was so excited to finally get a serger, however disappointment set in very quickly with this machine. I knew there would be a learning curve but I was up for the challenge. The manual is so poorly written. They show 30 some stiches on the box you can do with the machine, but the manual only tells you how to do 6 of them. If you want to know how to do the rest you have to buy Kenmore's 49.99 book. They don't sell the book in the store so I could not look at it to see if it is as poorly written as the owner manual. I have had so many problems with the looper thread breaking and I have done eveything the manual has said to do in the trouble shooing section for broken threads. I will be retuning it. I would not recommend it."

"Have never owned a serger but my interest peaked when I saw one in operation and was thrilled Sears had such a great price on this machine. The manual is easy to follow and I was able to thread it using the existing threads and tying on the cones I purchased with no difficulty. I was able to set it in operation immediately and am fascinated and pleased with its efficiency. I am surprised the threaders were not included as they are essential to have and now will have to purchase them; I felt they should have been in the accessory kit. However, It is a wonderful machine, well built and as a novice to a serger I had no problems threading it as instructed in the manual. I am so amazed how fast it sews and was sorry my project was completed as it was so much fun to use and am now preparing to make garments the "professional" way."

"I researched sergers for Mother's Day, and went with this model because of the price difference. The people who tried to sell me the Big Brands really focused on how incredibly difficult it would be to thread lower priced machines. That being the only difference I went with the lower price. It seems like a really great machine and it is easy to thread, but I can't use it. The instructional DVD is not terribly helpful beyond threading (it's more of an advertisement for all the extra attachments), and there was no printed manual included. We couldn't afford an $800 serger, but now that I am going to have to spend $30-$75 an hour on lessons I wonder how good a deal we actually got. A manual might have made all the difference in my satisfaction with this machine."

"The machine is nice... the DVD could be a little more informative... The instruction manuel is a nightmare... if the languages had been compiled in separate sections it would be more than helpful. I spend most of my time looking for the English parts. minus 5 stars for the manuel."

"I purchased this serger to use daily as I like to sew baby items. I would recommend to others, especially if looking for economic way to a serger for the first time buyer. It is not intimdating as color codes make it easy to thread and book describes moving tensions for correct sewing of fabric, light enough to carry to sewing get togethers with friends."

"This machine makes sewing faster and easier. It works with super speed. It's sewing is smooth, neat, and perfect. It beats a regular sewing machine to pieces. The machine is heavy ,and seems to be well built. After trying this machine I wouln't want to go back to my tiny singer serger again. After I bought this and my daughter saw it, she bought one the next day."
