Is it easy to change back and forth between serging and coverstitching? Does it take a long time?

Unfortunately, no. This machine is rather complicated. After a few experiments, I put mine on coverstitch and left it there. Fortunately, I have a great serger.

There is an option for auto-change. IrShows you esch roomFor a few seconds. Or you can do it manually

It's not at all frustration free. It is such a pain to get Gru unattached from all the twist ties and everything else. It's worth it though!

It takes a little work to figure out how to make the adjustments, but once you do it works great. I've even used it on upholstery fabric (the heavier weight cottons), and it does a good job. I've used all these presser feet and they make sewing much easier. This is a great kit, I've bought several and use them all the time.

No, it isn't. It takes about 8 - 10 minutes to completely re-thread after you get used to it.

Trivial. Turn upside down, unscrew inset (with finger and thumb on opposing tabs) fill and rescrew.

Swaping colors is the same as with any top feed you have to empty unused paint into some other container but after that its just a matter of spraying some cleaner through the gun and loading new color. Hope this helps.

Yes, you may turn both covers over and use either side. However the only level I have experienced you can not change is the level with the cut out to allow them to go from upper and lower levels. The only way that will work is if you turn that one inside out. Hope this helped.

I do reload the spools of my Black & Decker weed eater by hand, and it takes under a minute. The key is locking the lead end of the string into the provided hole (on the spool) and winding under moderate tension (and without criss-crossing the string) in the direction shown by observing the arrow symbol embossed on the spool. I never wind past the embossed capacity line.The webbed sheath included on this product helps keep excess line from spinning off, so I'm able to control how much line pays out while respooling. Hope this helps!

No, its pretty basic on the routing. You can go in and change the rout manually but its a hassle.

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.

Yes, it is very easy to switch back and forth from portrait to landscape without loosening anything, and is an excellent product. I wasted money on a cheap model before finding the K&M.; Have been extremely pleased. Bill

MichiganTraveler's answer is right on. The only thing I would add is that it's a lot easier the second time. The hard bit is getting the metal rods bent over enough to insert into the pockets on the hood. After you get it once it's easier -- besides I left mine set up for a week or so and the springy metal rods took a bit of a curve -- *much* easier the second time.

I found it easier to put it on from front to back. It is easier to match the flares to the handlebars. I can pull my cover all the way to the ground, covering all three tires.

no problem, each side adjusts individually, but it is a single VERY long strap threaded through the leather back piece. If you have adjusted the sliders until there is no room left and it seems to be almost there (or on the right track to fitting) do a shortening test. put it on in the shortest configuration it will do, pinch the single strap together until it feels right, staple it, repeat for the other side. Once it fits.... sew the excess material to the strap or cut one of the anchor loops at the leather centerpiece, shorten the strap and resew. If you mess up, the elastic nylon is at any fabric store

This one is super-easy! It was my first serger and I have had no problems with it. Easy to convert to rolled hem. Easy to thread or re-thread - color-coded and a graph. I definitely recommend this one!
