Will this serger do flatlock stitching?

You can do a version of flatlock on almost any serger ( see video tutorial on you tube). However, it will not have the same appearance a using a flatlock, or overlock machine. I have one of those.

i am new to sewing, so i am not sure. if you mean a flat-felled seam it would probably be better to use a different foot. this is designed to catch the material and curve it up and around. granted i was using it with difficult fabrics (satin and tulle) but i found it hard to work with.

Hi Karen, That's how Amazon list it. This serger is made by Janome. If you have any further questions feel free to call toll free at 800-442-8227 and you can ask for our sewing specialists either Fred or Paul. Thanks, Scott

I doubt it. It is for light duty. For intricate patterns a scroll saw is what you want.

Since I don't know what kind of machine you have and what your blind hem stitch foot looks like, I would guess "no". This foot has a blade in the center to guide in an existing stich-ditch so that you line up your current line of stitches exactly on top. A blind hem stitch foot isn't designed for that purpose.

Yes,I have used it to sew a quilt top together because it stitches a seam and overlocks at the same time. It is especially good for knit fabric. :-)

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

This is a serger, so it has different special stitches for edge work... it won't have straight or zigzag stitch. There are tons of sewing machines that have up to 300 different types of stitches that sounds more what you might be looking for when you say you want an all purpose machine

For practical purposes, a serger and overlock are all but indistinguishable. They each perform the finishing stitches sewers want and need, as well as many decorative stitches. Most people probably use the terms interchangeably, thinking they are one and the same. However, technically, they are not. It is true that they both have two needles, a longer foot and needle plate. They also accommodate several different spools of thread. Generally speaking though, a serger performs one task perfectly-overlocking, cutting and finishing seams in one step. That being said, depending on the make and model, it may also perform more tasks and decorative stitches. It can have up to eight spools of thread which gives the user many options. In addition to the overlocking stitch, the serger is usually capable of performing the flatlocking stitch and the chain stitch. More expensive machines will also perform a cover stitch. These machines handle knits and many delicate fabrics with ease. An overlock machine may have just the overlock stitch for finishing edges. They tend to have fewer spools of thread, which means fewer options for decorative stitches. Another overlocked stitch that is desirable is the cover stitch, which is not standard on a serger sewing machine. The coverstitch is used for attaching lace and trims. It does not have a cutting attachment, as it has more uses than just finishing seam. You will find coverstitches used in knits and folded areas to be stitched. Many sewers are attached to their particular serger or overlock machine that may not have the cover stitch. For them, it makes sense to invest in a separate cover stitch machine that just performs that one stitch.

No, it just cover stitches. There is a serger that can cover stitch. Not sure Amazon carries one.

I had a problem with the pedal with my serger. After investigation (I traced the components and drew up a schematic), I found out that the wiring for the cord was incorrect. After switching the wires, the pedal worked fine. The circuitry is simple triac controller. It should work with any universal motor. If your connector is properly wired it should work fine.

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.

Yes. I've had mine for 2 yrs now. And absolutely love it! It also has an attachment to make circular sewing much easier. I use this machine daily! ! It gets a real workout and I've not had ANY trouble with it. I will suggest the ' Brother lock 1034D, if your in the market for a surger. Easy to thread and use. Again never a problem with it! I do routine home maintaining.

You can use either with your machine, it is the width of the overlock stitch, roughly 3/16" for the 5mm and almost 3/8" for the 7mm.

I do a basic straight stitch and not familiar to other stitches. The tool is very handy and for making medicine bags it works great.

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.
