Janome Serger 3434D Serger Overlock
I bought this to replace my Bernina model serger when it was no longer useable. I do not sew as much as I used to but I still wanted a serger for the projects I make. I decided to buy a less expensive machine and hoped that it would be sufficient. After using it for almost a year, I'm very satisfied with the quality of the machine. In many ways it is very similar to my old Bernina serger. However, one of the 4 needles is extremely difficult to thread. The directions with the machine indicate that you should tie subsequent threads onto the ends of the previous thread and that is actually the only reasonable way to rethread the machine. I made the mistake of thinking I could re-thread it as I had done with my Bernina and I spent a very long and frustrating time trying to thread this machine. That, however, is my only complaint with the machine. As long as you thread the machine by tying the new thread onto the old; you will not have this same problem. The machine is a bit louder and definitely not as finely made as the Bernina, but for the price, it's a very nice, useable serger.
