Is this for a sewing machine or just for a serger

It is just a serger, but sergers are nothing like a sewing machine. This serger is wonderful, especially for the price. There are sewing machines who have "serging attachments" but they really do not serge. A serger is a unique machine, and I use it for all my quilt blocks, when I do alterations, for decorative finishes on items, but never for seams, it finishes seams, and things like that. Hope that helps you.

Hi! If you own a regular sewing machine there is no foot attachment to make it into a serger. A serger is a separate machine. When you do purchase a serger the basic foot is all you need to serge your seems, but there are many different feet per each serger for different tasks just like a sewing machine. Hope that answers your question!

You still have to test sew any new fabric. It will also take adjusting the tensions. In short, it will, but you also need to learn the machine, what it does and how to adjust it. Nothing is automatic on sergers.

NO! That is for hand sewing needles only. There is a product made for threading sewing machines. Look in ypur local sewin center. 2Doors

On two needle models, it has 4.5 mm (11/64ths) and 7 mm (9/32nds). I have had this machine (my first serger) for a couple of months and am enjoying learning a new way of sewing, nice finished seams and rolled hems. I like it a lot for the price.

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 my sewing machine and serger sitting on it and sew with no problems. It works great for me. Because it is slim it fits well in my room but it is not the best if you want it to cut large items on. For my machine use and cutting small items it is perfect.

Hopeful, This particular Juki is a 3-thread machine. It has One needle, and two loopers, sometimes called looper needles. Household sergers are not geared to heavy fabric. Thank you,

A mend machine is designed for quick and dirty repair work whereas a sewing machine is designed for more professional garment and fabric creation.

Hi Jefferis, All the sergers have a 3 prong cord going in the machine. The plug that goes in the outlet are 2 prong. If you have any further questions feel free to call toll free at 800-442-8227 and ask for Paul. Thanks, Scott

Look at the little photo provided... In the blue circle... That is the end of the cord that plugs into your sewing machine. If it fits, it works .

Yes, if you place it so that it isn't on the moveable part of the table. I put my sewing machine on one side and my serger on the other - lift the sides to hold the fabric if you are working with a lot. I've found it to be perfect for such uses.

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.

UPDATE: I originally answered that the Distinctive Blind Hem Presser Foot would work with the Brother. Well, it does BUT NOT WITH THE BROTHER SERGER! My thanks to Margaret E. Hannibal whose answer pointed me to an overlooked fact: R.Eakin was inquiring about the Brother Serger, not an "ordinary" Brother sewing machine. The Serger is not a sewing machine as one (me) might ordinarily think: it is used to cut, sew, and edge fabrics in one step. My apologies, too, to R. Eakin for my terrific answer . . . sigh . . . that had nothing to do with the Serger. I am leaving my discussion of low-/high-shank presser feet under the heading of "General Sewing Machine Features." Regarding presser feet - in general. First some anatomy: when lowered, the presser foot sandwiches the material between itself and the feed dog (the toothy plate that advances the material); the presser foot snaps onto the shank; the shank is screwed onto the presser bar; the presser bar is what one raises and lowers to raise and lower the presser foot. For the most, there are two types of presser feet shanks: low (most) and high (some, e.g. a few singers). To determine whether the shank is low or high, with any presser foot attached to your machine, lower the presser foot all the way (no fabric on the machine) to the feed dog and measure from the feed dog (i.e., the bottom of the presser foot) to the screw hole (where the shank is screwed onto the presser bar). For low shanks, the distance will be approximately three-quarters of an inch (3/4"); for high shanks the distance will be approximately one and one-quarter inches (1 1/4"). The "Distinctive Blind Hem Sewing Machine Presser Foot" is for low shank machines. However, you can buy an attachment to adapt the a low shank machine to a high shank machine if you cannot find the appropriate high shank presser foot. Hope this is not too verbose. Ed

I have a Singer Ultra Lock and it fits with plenty of room left over. Unless your serger is excessively large it would probably work. However, since you sew I'm sure you have a tape measure, I would suggest measuring your serger. This is a really nice case and I have been really pleased with it.

They are designed for use with embroidery machines. But I have used on my sewing machine too.
