Another alternative is to use a really loose needle thread and then pull the pieces apart to create a faux flat-lock seam.
I can't really tell from the photo, but I can't see an oil line in the window... you might wanna check that. :)
I order some oil, so I just threaded it and check the tension. Now I wait, like a kid with a new toy without batteries.
Never unthread your serger. Instead, when you want to change cones, snip the old thread above the old cone, tie a know in the string with the new thread, and pull it through. You'll probably have to rethread the needle, but this makes changing threads go really fast. I do the same with the top-stitcher.
I hardly use the chain stitcher on mine, but there have been occasions where I was glad to have it.
Keep these babies well fed with oil and blow out the dust occasionally and it should last you forever. :)
Thanks again for the advice!
I would not say a serger is better at repairs or construction but it is better for a overall finished look then just a lock stitch.
A serger is not best on very tight turns or small details, there is also a chance of cutting too much off and altering the fit.
Thank you for the favs by the way.
