is this machine a self threader

No, it isn't. It takes about 8 - 10 minutes to completely re-thread after you get used to it.

Definitely threaded. I have not disassembled this one, but I did another older one.

It is not. You guessed correctly. But I have this machine and I'm very happy with it's performance!

If you contact us, 1-877-4-FABHUT, we can discuss the price further. It does have the auto threader. As far as comparing the machines, it would depend on what you are primarily doing with it. Each is a great machine, but they are stronger at other things. Please contact us and we can discuss your needs and find the right machine at the right price for you. Thanks, Oren

this machine is a piece of junk, I sent it back and bought this instead, this is a worthy investment. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DSLIV0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It does not. If you are looking for a household machine, this is way more than you need. Ours in running for hours on end every day, as it is used in my restaurant.

Yes. You thread the bobbin at the top of the machine (same as most other Singer machines).

Yes, it is "machine threads" and very tight. The end cap has a ribbed surface. Try harder!

no. it does not. it is a "cover stitch machine". Janome makes a very nice 5 thread serger that makes a 2 thread chain stitch while sergin. but if you want a proper three thread cover stitch, and a proper 3 thread serged edge at the same time, your only options are the BabyLock Evolution/Ovation models.

If it was a small animal probably. Other reviewers have said the machine repeatedly comes unthreaded. My daughter uses it as a toy.

there are two type of fasteners, coarse thread "screw like" and machine thread "finer thread", by removing one from your auto you can verify correct type.

It fit my applcation. I did have to thread it with a simple tap and die. You can by bolts that self thread, i think the a is for grease fitting option.. I would thread it though.

Since this is a machine manufactured by brother, I think so. This is a clip on item, which most of the brothers' (who made the machine) machines use. You must have a low shank machine with the screw on attachment that allows you to use the clip on attachments. This is a really old machine, one of the first programmable. If you lose the computer, you are sunk. Make sure it is protected from surges and HOT weather.
