What does this come with? Small/Large spool holders, what kinds of feet, is it easy to use (I am a first time sewing machine user!)?

1. It holds standard large spools sold in our sewing machine store. The bobbins are standard size. 2. The "feet"? It sets on the base of its plastic case. 3, My wife says it is easy to use - and she is no pro!

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

In addition to the attached presser foot for normal sewing, there are: a blind stitch hem foot, a hemmer foot, an overedge foot, a zipper foot, a transparent buttonhole foot, a zigzag foot and an automatic buttonhole foot. When I use a zigzag stitch, I use the normal foot (don't change it to a zigzag foot) and it works fine. I use this machine almost daily and am very satisfied.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

I don't know for sure as your machine isn't listed under the ones they say the foot is for, however, they don't list it for my machine either and it works very well. Before running your machine with it make sure your needle doesn't hit any part of the foot. I use the stitch designed for free motion quilting as written in my manual.

Yes it can be used on your serger, without the spool holders. No, I didn't use another adapter.

It doesn't come with extras. Just a couple of bobbins, a zipper foot and maybe a couple other things. I've had several sewing machines over the years, this is a good one. You will have to supply your self with a few things for your sewing basket, but don't buy anything until you really think you will need it. Basics will be a seam ripper, some pins, scissors, that's really about it. Don't buy machine needles, it comes with a few and you could easily get the wrong size. Take one of those with you to match it up. The instruction sheet in a pattern will guide you in any thing else you may need. Hope this helps.

I wondered the same thing about my Brother Sewing Machine, I went on google to find out what sew machines would best fit the Gathering Foot and, there was the answer. It gave so much information about the subject.

I have no idea. It is an OEM foot for standard Singer sewing machines, I don't know if sergers use the same foot. You could probably get a part number for the standard foot for your machine from Singer's web site, if you no longer have the paper manual.

When I saw this online, I didn't even know such a thing existed. Now that I have it, it's a really cool concept and I'm glad that I bought it. I have never seen this prior to this so don't have a comparison to answer "rule them all!?" Would recommend buying it though. Have bought several more along the way for other sewing friends and they like it too.

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

I got it for my daughter and it's quite large but I used a huge safety pin and pinned it to the smallest size I could.The width really helps get more control for transfers and such. It could probably be stitched smaller too. I justdon't have a working sewing machine at the moment.

its easy until you get to the loop at the top --in other words picture you put the spool on the top you go down one side and up the other the metal looper that comes out of the top should come out a little more so you can attach the thread there---I always have to use tweezers to get the thread in.....after that it is easy. its good you asked this question because it is a good little machine and this is the only part that annoys me about it....I wonder what others have to say!!
