Can anyone tell me the voltage of this machine? I'm looking for a serger I can use in Europe. Thanks in advance.

The foot pedal indicates 110-125 VAC. Please try this site for starters. I know nothing of their products. http://www.babylock.com/sergers/

the only other place to buy, was ebay. and you have to buy the whole machine. another suggestion is to look on the web for parts binging sold for singer tiny serger.

I was curios if you were able to resolve your problem? I'm in the same situation. I got this machine from Europe last week. I tried three different converters, no luck.

I would not buy the XP5280 for several reasons (although ellectrically is OK and an European machine would work fine with 220V). The principal problem is mechanical, the cofee holder and its handle and the materials used that makes it very easy to braak. Honestly, I would buy an italian one. And remember now, almost everything is made now in China, you notice it promplty.

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we cannot change the voltage on this machine. It is 115 Volt. Thank you and have a great day!

I had a problem with the pedal with my serger. After investigation (I traced the components and drew up a schematic), I found out that the wiring for the cord was incorrect. After switching the wires, the pedal worked fine. The circuitry is simple triac controller. It should work with any universal motor. If your connector is properly wired it should work fine.

It has been a long time since I have been to Europe, then voltage was 220 in Germany. Best bet go to us state department web site, they should have synopsis of each county in Europe. Would assume voltage of each county is mentioned.

Hi, I've tried to find some euro-standard (220/50) device on maker site, on other distribution channels,...but unfortunately with no success :(The only suitable option I've found is couple purchasing the clipper with down-step voltage converter. IMHO it's too much complicated solution for such a trivial thing as hair clipper.

J. Mugg, This is a 3/4 thread serger. You can sew with one needle or two needles. Though it does not technically sew a straight stitch, this being a 3/4 should do what you need it to do. Thank you,

I have an older model that was sold in store in USA. I would not take a chance with voltage. Best bet, contact Braun directly to see if they sell a USA compatible model. It is a great machine. Have owned mine over 25 years.

My understanding is that it is 120V. I did check the specifications and it does confirm the 120V. I am not certain if they make this shredder in other voltage levels for sale outside of the USA. I would check with the manufacturer for further questions.Phone: Customer service center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (PST), Monday to Friday * Toll-free phone (USA only): 1-800-327-8508* International only: 1-310-793-5650

I have no idea. It is an OEM foot for standard Singer sewing machines, I don't know if sergers use the same foot. You could probably get a part number for the standard foot for your machine from Singer's web site, if you no longer have the paper manual.

It works on a standard sewing machine. Serger pressed feet are quite model specific.
