Sewing Machines
Quote:
Company: Singer
Make: Ultralock serger
Lifespan: I've had it for almost three years.
Review: It has a decent price tag, but it's not near the quality of other machines. I bought it because I liked my singer sewing machine, but I wouldn't buy it again. I've had to get it repaired twice for pieces that broke (which ended up costing about the price of the machine). When it breaks again, and I'm sure it will
sad , I'm just going to get a new one. This one isn't worth the frustration.
Recommendation: Buy something else.
Ugh, I have one of these and it's pretty much in a constant state of being broken. Something got jammed in mine and I have to re-thread it every thirty seconds or so (a huge pain in the butt, by the way, but easier than it used to be). My mom and I tried everything we could and it's been in the shop twice, after which it works for a day or two and then breaks again. I've had mine for 4.5 years. It worked correctly for about a year. Also one of the tension dials broke which led to the most recent stint in the shop. But it was decently cheap, which is why we got it.
The convenience of cutting and hemming at the same time isn't worth it with this one. =p
