This is my first serger. I'm thrilled with the instructional video it came with, the easy to use manual, and the quality of this machine. Nancy recommends practicing threading daily until you're comfortable. It didn't take long! Adjusting tensions is also clearly explained. It has a number of features I couldn't get without spending much more money and comes with lots of accessories. I easily found the needles online too. I can hardly wait to try out all the stitches this machine is capable of. I'm an experienced seamstress but a novice about serging. I feel confident I'll be able to use the EZ Lock without difficulty. I'm very happy with the speed and simplicity sewing is now. I'll always have my sewing machine - but boy am I glad I finally bought a serger!

I love Amazon - I ordered this item Dec.3 around 6pm. It was delivered Dec.5 at 11 am. Incredible.
I needed a new serger to replace my old faithful "white superlock" that decided to surrender after 25 years of service. I checked many stores, many brands, but prices were too high. In checking Amazon, I knew I found the winner. I trust "Sewing with Nancy". She will not put her name on inferior product. I was right. I have tried the machine today and was very satisfied of the results. I have not figure out the quick threading yet, but even the manual threading was not that hard.
Only complain is the DVD, inaudible sound - but no matter, I have the manual.
A definite 5 stars for this serger. Thk you Amazon and Thk you Sewing with Nancy.

This is my first serger and I was a little intimidated by the thoughts of learning to thread it etc. but this was SO E_Z just like the name implies.
Color coded guide is right there on the door and the instructional DVD answered all my questions even before I used it for the first time. I was up and serging in just a few days and feeling confident about adjusting the threads and tensions to create different looks. I love this machine and think it was a great value. Nancy Z products ROCK!

I received my Sewing With Nancy SWN10 EZ Lock Serger machine within the time expected, packed safely and securely. I had never used a serger before, but, always wanted one. Soon, I had it out of the box and was learning to thread it. This is a heavy and sturdy machine. I tried it out on different fabrics, made adjustment and I really got the hang of it. I couldn't believe how user friendly this machine could be. The handbook and DVD were very helpful. I would recommend this machine to anyone that was looking for a good serger.

I bought this serger and just love it. Easy to understand instructions and the video explains in greater detail. Easy to thread. Works like a dream.

Pros:
-2, 3, or 4 thread serging
-Color coded for looper threading. It took me about 10 minutes the first time I threaded it. I have threaded my machine several times in the last couple of months and I can now switch colors and rethread in less than 5 minutes.
-has differential adjustment
-has several stitch options
-works ok with cheap thread (better with the quality thread though)


Cons:
-The needles are held in place by hex head screws so you need an allen wrench. My daughter lost the one my accessory kit came with, and the manual does not state the size. Its 1/16" though.
-the accessory kit doesn't fit into the free arm space. I know that isn't really a feature, but I have a friend that has a drawer in her serger for storing accessories.

Overall, I would recommend this to my friends. If you have stubby fingers or poor eyesight go for a model that self threads. But for me this was a great purchase.

I love purchasing from Amazon because of the rapid delivery! The serger was a Christmas gift to our daughter. She is thrilled with it. As an avid sewer I knew I could trust a product from Sewing With Nancy. The best surprise was that the serger comes with an instructional DVD. A product I would recommend.

I sew very little. I have been pretty much snowed in lately and thought I would give serging a try. My machine arrived in only 2 days and I began the daunting process of threading it. I noticed that it already had some thread in it and I immediately pulled it out. I was actually a wee bit annoyed that they had left it that way. Oh my gosh, did I feel ridiculous when I figured out my mistake! Soooooo, I threaded it manually using the written instructions. It took a little longer than an hour to do so and most of that was spent on the Blue needle. The others were relatively simple. If you are COMPLETELY in the dark about sergers, I think this is a GREAT machine to purchase. The color coding was a life saver and I was actually up and running in about 90 minutes or less. The DVD provides very useful information about tensions, etc and I was very proudly making new seams on everything in my house in no time. My only complaint was that out of the box, the machine had a heavy mildew odor. It lingered on the machine for a few weeks and I can still smell it although it is bearable now. Other than that, I would recommend it even to the fearful. Nice for the price!

So far this has been fairly good to me. I was easy to use easy to set up. The only problem I've had so far is it was hard to find all the adjustments, and sometimes the stitching seems to be too wide or too long without an intuitive way to fix it. Other than that it makes quick work of seams and am waiting to wrestle with the other set ups such as the gathering stitch. The CD was very helpful to see exactly how to thread the machine. However after watching it once or twice the manual was the most helpful for reference.

I received this serger as a gift and love it. I have had a serger for about 20 years and love sewing with them. It was shipped very fast, arrived in great condition. It was packaged very well. I took it out of the box, set it up and started sewing with it. It does wonderful stitches, is easy to thread, adjustments are very easy to do. The instruction book is very helpful too. I would recommend this machine to anyone who loves to sew.
