Editorial Review:
Equipped with an automatic looper threader and built-in roll hemming and capable of differential feed to gather fabric for ruffles and reduce stretching when sewing knits, this 4/3/2 thread serger can perform numerous stitch functions while stitching, trimming, and overcasting in a single operation. It's simple to operate, fast (up to 1,300 stitches per minute), and uses standard sewing-machine needles. An electronic foot pedal permits smooth speed control, ensuring full needle penetration even at lowest speeds. Stitch functions available include 3-thread and 4-thread overlocks. Accompanying the machine are six creative, snap-on feet: bead/sequin, elastic, cording, taping, blind hem/lace, and shirring. Also included is a soft, zip-up storage/carrying case with handles. Color-coded threading, adjustable stitch width, adjustable stitch length, a stitch-length control dial, adjustable differential feed, presser-foot pressure adjustment, and tension-adjustment dials for all four threads offer exceptional flexibility and control. The machine also converts for free-arm work. It has a built-in fabric-waste container and accessory storage and comes with an accessory package that includes needles, tweezers, and a screwdriver. Exceptionally clear, illustrated instruction and how-to booklets come with the machine. This serger carries 15-year warranty against mechanical defects and a 2-year warranty against electrical defects. --Fred Brack

As in prior reviews, mine arrived broken :(:
As in prior reviews, my serger also arrived broken. The thread stand was screwed on too tight and snapped off during shipment. Still waiting for a replacement which is being sent using the same slow DHL to USPS method. Will hopefully arrive in one piece. Will amend this review if I ever receive a working product. :p
Great product:
I received mine two weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy it. It is tricky to thread but any serger is. The manual is great if you read it step by step and test before you sew anything. One thread not quite where it is supposed and your sewing will not go well. Read the manual. I think as with anything else, practice makes perfect. I bought this because I needed something inexpensive and it was the same brand as the sewing machine I have which is a little workhorse and does denim. I'm not sure what... more info
Euro-pro 534DX -- expensive parts:
Overall I have been happy with the performance of this machine. However, just recently my daughter broke the plate under the foot. There's a small, very thin piece of metal on the plate on which the thread rides. She tried to sew some heavy material, blue jean fabric, and the combination of the material and (probably) her pulling, bent the metal piece. I called for a replacement part -- the part was $49.95 plus $10.00 shipping!! I'm going to keep watching ebay for a used machine to buy to use for... more info
This is my 1st Serger----Oh My:
It has taken me 1 week to see the in & outs of serging. Now to replace the needles.I have been working on this all morning. If I get one in the other want go. If I take one out the other will go in. These are the ones that came with the serger.Now I have lost 2 i/2 hrs on this. I am wondering if the needles are bad. Not a good thing for a new kid on the block. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Lady De
