Review 1 for Singer Finishing Touch Sewing Machine, 14SH654

Poor quality

I've been sewing for years and had a Singer serger back in the mid 80's when Singer's quality was still good. It finally bit the dust so I thought since I had such good luck with my old Singer that I would buy another one. Big mistake! I am very knowledgeable with working with sergers and coverstitch machines and I could never get this thing to serge. I got rid of it and bought a Juki and I have no problems whatsoever. Stay away from a Singer serger! Spend a little more money and get a good one especially if you sew alot like I do.

Horrible Machine....DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

I have been sewing for a few years and really wanted a serger. My husband bought me this one for my birthday. Threading it wasn't that difficult but let me tell you......I have gone through so much fabric and thread just trying to figure out the flippin tension on it. At first I thought maybe it was me but this machine is just not consistant. the thread is constantly breaking and getting tangled inside. I am going to be investing a new serger real soon. This one belongs in the garbage!!!!!!

the machine jams. it is cheaply put together.
I used it to make stockings for my children and it couldn't keep up. the sad part is it was thin fabric.
they just don't make them like they used to.

SINGER AIN'T WHAT SHE USED TO BE!

I purchased this model of serger because I've always trusted SINGER. My current sewing machine is a Singer and has held up over the years. The 1st Singer I used was a "Feather Weight", it had been passed down from my Grandmother, Mother, Me and on to my 40 year old daughter. If I had the "Feather Weight" back I would not have needed this serger. I just wanted a small, light, portable machine to use while confined to a wheel chair for a few months.
I'm returning my Singer Model 14SH654 TODAY. Threading this machine was fairly easy, what isn't easy is setting the tension. I exhausted all resources on tension setting today with no success. I used the manual that was provided, watched the silent DVD, asked for help from a neighbor, followed customer support process, and finally called a local sewing machine repair service who agreed to adjust the tension for me at their hourly rate. READ READ READ any and all reviews, especially social media sites. I'm going to a local sewing machine retailer and test my next purchase AFTER I read the reviews.

Review 7 for Singer Finishing Touch Sewing Machine, 14SH654

Suitable for the Home Sewer

I have used a small serger for some years but it does not trim and is very slow. Wished that I had purchased this one a while ago. It is quite suitable for the home sewer and is fairly easy to use - simply follow the coded threading diagram and you will have no problems; it is not too slow and can accommodate fairly heavy materials. The Serger is not too heavy so if you do not have a permanent spot for it then it can be placed in storage after use. Also, you do not necessarily have to buy the more expensive cone thread as the small spools can fit just as well. You should just be careful that the threads do not get tangled in the poles when moving them for storage etc.

I really liked this serger UNTIL it was time for me to change the needles...It seamed the screw driver they sent did not fit.it was to big for the small holes...I used a smaller screw driver BUT they were screwed in SO tight...They Stripped and I could not unscrew the Original Needles..I had to take it back for a refund...
i have had sergers before and NO WAY should it have been that hard taking out the needles...

I love this machine.
I have a small home based business and this was much more affordable than a professional machine. It worked right out of the box. I re-threaded it several times (just to learn how to do it) changed thread colors, used it as 3 or 4 thread and I've used all the decorative hem features.
After reading through the written instructions several times it became clear just how easy it is to thread and use this machine.

A nightmare of a machine

I have had nothing but problems with this serger. It shreds, tangles, jams, skips stitches, and just will not do what it promises. I had it serviced (cost me $120 to fix the darn thing) and within a month it is back to shredding and tangling.
Please don't buy this machine. You will be sorry if you do.

I just bought this singer serger and i am pleased!! The machine does a great job, is easy to handle and the price is right!
To the people who have problems with it: This is a household machine and you can't expect it to be like an industrial. And for God's sake DO NOT pull the fabric while sewing, let it slide through that way you don't break any needles! The machine comes already threaded, so if you need to change colours, just cut off the spools, put on the colour of your choice and knot the thread, then you just pull the thread through and voila!! When you have 4 layers of fabric slow down a little that way it won't jam. Enjoy !

This serger is the worse I have ever owned It sewed 2 pieces of material before it started messing up. I owned another brand for years and gave it away when I received this one for Christmas.
There is no tech support available. Singer is only opened from 8-4 and there arre not any local techs to repair this machine in Arkansas.
I would not suggest you purchase this serger. Singer did not step up and provide the type of product I am use to. Very disappointed.

This Singer Serger is exactly what I needed. It works wonders and I have no complaints about it.
The shipping was a nightmare to Hilo, Hawaiʻi as it was for christmas. But I contacted you and problem was resolved. It did get here late but it got here.

Don't waste your money!

I was excited to find a serger at such a reasonable price and since it was Singer brand I thought it would be decent quality. I knew at this price I wasn't getting a top model serger, but I thought it would be a good beginning one. Wrong! The tension on this machine was inconsistent from the day I brought it home. I tried working with it for a couple of weeks, thinking that maybe it was just my lack of serger knowledge. Finally I took it back and exchanged it for a new one. After dealing with that one for a couple of weeks, I had a co-worker (who used to be a seamstress) look at it. She couldn't figure it out either. I decided to give up on this machine all together. Unfortunately I couldn't find the receipt at that point. So now I'm stuck with it.
Personally I wouldn't waste my time going the "big box" route again for something like this. I found a local sewing machine dealer and got a great tuned-up/refurbished model at a great price(about $200). They also gave me a 1-year warranty. It works like a charm. I use it all the time and haven't had any problems since I bought it 5 months ago.
