Product Information

You could consider Pfaff or Juki who are better known for making industrial overlockers but make excellent domestic ones too. This compact overlock machine by Singer is a basic, entry-level model with a good stitch selection and additional helpful features. The Singer Overlock 754 is a sewing machine designed to create professional-looking finishings on garments and other fabric projects. This is why the Singer s14-78 has colour coded threading paths to make the whole process so much easier, especially to beginners who may be put off by the initial threading.

If the machine is plugged into an extension, check the extension or plug the machine directly into a wall socket. In addition to 2-, 3- and 4 overlocking stitches, this Singer model includes 3- and 4-thread mock stretch safety stitches, 4 types of rolled hem stitch options and a very useful flatlock stitch. As a company known for their high-quality sewing machines, they take great care in designing a machine that works for you regardless of your skill level.The sewing speed is adjustable, allowing for greater control over intricate projects, and the machine also includes a built-in thread cutter for added convenience. Needle 2 is pulling looper 3 thread to the top fabric side: Lower the tension of needle 2 first, before tightening looper 3 tension. The Singer Overlock 754 is built with durability in mind, with a metal frame that provides stability during use and prevents the machine from vibrating excessively.

different stitch types come already built in with this machine that works with the option 4, 3 or 2 thread stitching capacity. The Singer Overlock 754 is a sewing machine that is designed for overcasting and finishing garments with a professional touch. Overlockers also feature differential feed due to the two sets of feed dogs compared to the standard one set. Even though the s14-78 is on the cheaper side, there are standard budget sewing machines that may be more suited to your budget, you just will not be able to achieve the overlock finish.The machine’s front panel features four dials for adjusting the tension of each thread and a cutting blade for trimming fabric as you overlock. As a professional who’s an experienced overlocker user, and the owner of 3 other machines which all perform perfectly (one of them is over 40 years old), I do not recommend this machine.

The adjustable differential feed and retractable upper cutting blade provide you with better control over all types of fabric, although the machine’s lighter weight may make working with heavier fabrics somewhat of a challenge. With an overlocker you can usually adjust the cutting width of the fabric you are sewing, however, Singer has taken this one step further so that the upper cutter can be switched off completely meaning that your fabric does not get cut at all. Quite often tension issues on overlockers especially new machines are simply down to the machine having been miss-threaded.The 14SH754 includes an adjustable differential feed which gives you a high level of control over any fabric type of thickness, including delicate sheers and heavy linens. The informative user manual and accompanying instructional DVD further enhance the learning experience. Make use the looper threading lid is closed fully - Many machines have a safety cut out if the lid is left open. I found a YouTube video explaining how to thread this exact model, which is extremely helpful as the manual could be more detailed (as with many sewing machine manuals).
