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
