Janome MOD-8933 3 and 4 Thread Serger with Differential Feed

This machine looks like it will be a interesting addition to my new adventure in sewing. This is my second time seeing a serger and my first time actually using one. I would suggest reading the manual before using it unless you already have experience using a Serger. It shows & helps you to see how to do different finishes along with the tension settings, fabric, type of needles, type of thread, length, differential ratio etc.... Appreciated by a beginner like me. Janome MOD-8933 Serger comes with a video to introduce you to threading this machine. The video can also be found on you tube. It looks like a old video, but educational and informative. It shows how to thread two different types of sergers. I personally haven't tried threaded it myself yet. But do plan on doing so soon. I didn't have to thread it to try it out because it comes threaded for you. This is a plus. It comes with four spools of thread and ready for a test run straight out of the box. I haven't tried either one of the three stitch methods, rolled hem, etc.... As I stated before in so many words I am new to using a Serger. But I can see great projects ahead after getting over the fear of using it for the first time. It's color coded to help with the threading process just as the video shows. I would suggest watching YouTube videos to see how to change the threads without having to rethread the machine. But it's important to know how to do it yourself just in case the need comes. Its almost magical how it cuts & gives a professional hem all at one time. I just did test stitches on scrap fabric. Time will tell the quality of it, but I have no complaints thus far. Looking forward to learning to use it and find out the full potential of my new addition!

The Janome MOD-8933 Serger Overlock with Lay-In Threading, Wide-Open Threading, 3 and 4 Thread Convertible with Differential Feed is an extremely nice machine. Although I have been sewing for most of my adult life, this product is my first serger machine. And after using it for a few weeks I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beginner serger machine. I have to admit I was very intimidated at first by the 4 different spools of thread, but the machine came right out of the box fully threaded. I watched the video that came in the box to better understand how to thread it myself and how to set up the different tensions and loop lengths. The video was very helpful. The machine seems to be very well made and allows me to do new types of sewing that I had never done before. Each thread pathway is color coded to make threading the unit as simple as possible. The compartment doors allow great access to the lower portion of the unit for threading, cleaning and oiling. If you are looking for a beginner machine, or even a mid-level serger machine, then the Janome MOD-8933 Serger Overlock with Lay-In Threading, Wide-Open Threading, 3 and 4 Thread Convertible with Differential Feed is the product for you.
