Never owned an overlocker so was all new to me but I decided to treat myself to this model and I googled to see a nice man set up a different model was easy to thread and I cannot wait to use so pleased you liked it as I have heard some negative comments on these special buys, but it was my treat and I felt special.
I am ... but, most probably won't win. I am disabled, and live on the disability allowance. And, do not know how you notify. I am subscribed, selected all notifications, etc. And do get a notification for about 80% of your uploads.
Hi, can you please make another video showing step by step on how to use S010l as this is my first overlocker and I do not have a clue how to start using this.. Thanks
Buon pomerigio ho comprato proprio questa macchina taglia e cuci so10L sto guardando il video ma non e' in lingua Italiana non capisco le spiegazioni della macchina come montare I fili sopratutto quando arrivo nel piedino potreste mandare il video in Italiano per poter lavorare con la macchina l' ho comprate al LIDl ma senza la vostra insegnamento non potro' farcela
Thank you. My mum bought the overlocker 3 years ago, then it sat in a box! Thank you for your video it has been so valuable in terms of threading the machine.
You're very welcome! I hope you’re feeling confident with it, these are great machines. I can Whip up trousers in less time it takes to do the washing up, so I’ll let him indoors do that while I play 💫🪡✨have fun
Managed to grab one of these on Thursday morning. My first overlocker! It does seem to be quite robust. Thanks for your review of it - I hadn't realised you could alter the knife position, so I'll experiment with that. Your's is the first specific S010L video I found, but there are other videos on threading Lidl Singer overlockers and the technique is identical, so they were a good find. Thanks again, Peter.
Oh no, Abi, what have you done??!! Just watched your video, rationalised to myself that I only need a straightforward overlooker, tore into the nearest Lidl and snapped up the last one! Absolutely thrilled.....Thank you!! 😁
Thanks for reviewing this. I picked one up for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas. She will be new to sewing, so I was caught between a standard sewing machine or overlocker. Decided on this as it looks better for clothing and simple items like pillows. I’ll bookmark your channel and point her here when she starts.
Hi, I have this machine and it’s not cutting my fabric properly. I almost think the top cutting blade isn’t lowering enough, is this something that can happen or do you have any ideas on how to fix? Thank you xxx
I’ve not bought a serger as yet, i have to save as only get a low band invalidity payment, but sewing has changed my life! i don’t do much but before i was so depressed and lonely, i have a large family but rarely see them so this whole new sewing family? i’m so grateful for the tutorials and help i’ve found in so many platforms 😊
I got one of these on Thursday. So far very happy with it. I'm completely new to overlockers so had no idea about them. I watched the threading tutorial for this model by Jamie Kemp on CZcams. It's excellent, a step by step, close up view, very easy to follow. Loving it so far 😁
Thank you for all of your videos appreciate you taking the time to make them as I enjoy watching as well as learning so much. I cant wait till im able to get and afford a Serger due to both me and my husband losing our jobs due to the covid restrictions sewing not only has become a way for me to have serenity to get through these times but i am able to make masks for those around me also remake and sew much needed clothing for my always growing 6 boys in which 2 who are disabled. A serger would really help me in my sewing not being able to afford one and not having a sewing machine with the overlocking stitch.
Thank you so so so much fir doing this video. My mother in law bought me this over locker for my birthday. It's my first over locker and was a bit daunting to look at. Lol. I've managed to make a bag with a zip with it. :) I would love to see a few more videos on this over locker.
Thanks for the review. I saw this one in Lidl yesterday and was impressed by the price. Found your video, went back first thing this morning for it and carried it home a mile - got heavy. Seems very solid and looks about the same as one twice the price. Great Christmas present for my wife. Hopefully the cones of Lidl thread will be good enough to start with at least, and be better quality than their grissle and bone burgers 😀
💕💪🏼💪🏼awesome job, well done. Hope your wife will be happy. Do open the box and check the contents and the handwheel works x their last release had a few iffy models x
Thank you Abi the for useful review. I’ve just bought this machine but I’m yet to use it. I’m very new to overlockers so feel a bit uncomfortable still. Would love for you to make a video on how to use this machine. You explain everything so well. I’ve only just discovered your channel so have subscribed and look forward to your future videos. 😍
It took me a while to get the side piece off to access the accessories and the free arm, although it did loosen up and comes off without any problems now.
Once I got it off I could see how it worked. I had tried almost every combination of pulling and pushing it possible I think 😂 in the end it took two of us to remove it the first time, the clip only moves slightly. I find if I push the clip underneath whilst pushing against the top front of the machine it releases the clip enough to then pull it off with both hands. Not the easiest manoeuvre but it works and it has gotten easier to do with practice. This model seems to be the same setup as the pro finish model so I watched a few different CZcams videos for them which has been helpful. Most of them have suggested marking the dials with a sharpie as a quick reference for use and positioning which seems like a good idea. 😊
Hi.. got this one from lidls, but my trouble is the stitch width, haveturned the wee black button , but nothing happens or moves ... what should actually be moving , the knife ??
I really appreciated your showing about serge machine. Please give me your advise....I would like tyo buy the singer serge to use for the thick material as knit hand wool.....thank you
Thank you 😍😍😍 Going to get it out of the box now & attempt to look at the instructions again...just wish I still lived in Stockport so you could hold my hand 🤣
Danke für das Video! I like how you set value on good handling. This mashine will be available in Lidl next week, here in Switzerland. Now i am intrigued...
Thank you so much for the review, I’ve just bought one from Lidl but I have never used an overlocker before so feeling a little bit nervous about using it. I guess I just need to get stuck in there!! 😊
Hi, thank you for this video of yours! I have a question regarding the knife. Apparently, I should be able to see it move while I'm rotating the respective knob (the black one). I turn it and nothing happens to the knife. Am I blind? Is it hidden somewhere? Or is my machine damaged?
Still struggling I have found the lever and have managed to get it off but now it’s back on it is stuck again. Wondered if a little Vaseline or machine oil would help.
Do you prefer this year’s Lidl singer serger/overlocker over last years edition? No? Also, are these singer overlockers specially manufactured for Lidl and cannot be bought from somewhere else?
Yes these are exclusive to Lidl, distributed by the Bogod brothers, in London. They don’t have spares, so I’m beginning to agree with others, the aftersales is very poor so far
What good features can’t this overlocker do? For example, it does rolled hem , but which stitches can’t it do? I really wanna know for other features too not just stitches
Thank you Abi :) I just bought this machine in Lidl today, and you are the only one who gives a review on it, so thank you :) I like to taylor my own clothes, that is why I am here. Best regards from Denmark.
Thanks for your review. Would you recommend it to a beginner sewer... I’m a beginner and wish to buy a sewing machine but I saw this deal in Lidl wonder if I should get it instead of a sewing machine
I’m new to overlockers, was a bit worried if I’d done the right thing, but as you say for the price it’s worth a try. Not thread it yet, but is there one colour does all seeing or should you match to colour of material. Looking forward to try some of the items you’ve made.
I see lots of people say you need to use the thread colour to match your fabric. With the right settings, you shouldn’t be able to see your overlocking on the right side.
Hi Abi! I've been a subscriber for almost a year and enjoy your tutorials and machine reviews! I bought a similar Singer 4-thread serger 2 years ago that's exactly like this model! I love it and use it most of the time when I serge. I also have the Singer combo coverstitch 5 thread version: the model Singer Professional 5. I love both machines. Thank you for your videos!!
Hi Abi. I've purchased this overlocker (Singer S010L) and would like to get needles for stretch knit/jersey fabric. Can you tell me where to buy them? I've looked on line but can't find needles that are compatible. Lyn
Abi, Have you even looked at the Jaguar machines? Especially their overlockers. They open so much more, which makes threading a real breeze. As to Lidl's specials ... I got there just after opening ... and the sewing machines were all gone. I swear some people are making a killing, buying out lots and selling again at even more. I want to cry. Horrid to be on such a tight budget, and then the only time I see something "affordable" ... greedy people buy them all to resell.
Rebonjour....vous aurez -le temps de nous expliquer comment faire un surjet 3fil avec aiguille de droite car je n' arrive pas a l' avoir petit a 3'5cm....j' ai toujours les boucles dans le vide....en fait nous montrer comment l'a régler dans tout ce qu'.elle peut faire....grand merci.
Désolé pour la réponse tardive, je vais regarder ça, la marge de couture est toujours délicate à maîtriser, mais faites un réglage au couteau pour vous aider :) Bonne chance !
They are very similar, almost exactly the same. The S010L was made for Lidl distribution- companies often give models a very slight different style and a different number so they can identify where it was purchased. Sometimes just different accessories is enough to alter the price.
@Abi’s Den thanks for kind reply love....janome 744d...i am thinking because its got free arm and only about £30 difference....i don't know the difference for janome 6234xl....its £50 more ....hmmmm still 🤔
Can you sew using a single thread or do you have to use a min. of 2 threads?... As you can tell I have now idea about using this machine but I'm learning.
Bonjour. Grand merci pour votre vidéo ....Je suis de Belgique et elle vient d' être en vente a 90€ en promo..Allez vous faire d' autres vidéos? Car il n' a pas grand chose sur youtube sur cette machine🤔. Vous pouvez me dire à quoi sert le convertisseur?...car nous n' avons pas beaucoup d' explications....grand merci.
It really is a great little machine. I would love to make more videos on this machine. I didn’t know it was still available. Thank you for your comment, happy sewing Nicole!
Abi’s Den I watched the relevant part of the video. You mentioned stitch “length” but not “width”. So, is the width adjustable? If not, does it mean that all my serging will be of the same width? I wish if you showed the *RIGHT SIDE* of this machine so we can actually see the dials.
Sergers and Overlockers are the same. The name serger and Overlockers are synonymous to this type of machine. Serging is the cutting, overlocking is the actual stitching
Does this machine work with thick fabric? I'd wish to do curtains and furniture cushions. (I am newbie, not even sure if overlocker is proper for such work?)
Hi. I would say it’s okay for heavier fabrics. But not too heavy. It’s the same quality as a brother or a pfaff. If you’re looking for a decent quality, try a Janome or a Juki. Much more reliable :-) enter our giveaway competition. We are giving a Juki overlocker
Thank you for the video Abi. Could you please do a short video on the threading of the machine as I have experienced some problems getting the machine to re thread after 2 of the threads broke off.
hi can you help me to choose between janome 644d 744d , or 6234xl.....please. 🙏. i am so confused....or any other good overlocker...o e i liked brother 4234d...is out of stock every where....thanks a lot in advance....
Forget the brother. It’s not a good price (It was good at £100 but not a penny more!) I would go for the janome. Choose the budget for you and the features that suit.
@@AbisDen thanks for kind reply love....janome 744d...i am thinking because its got free arm and only about £30 difference....i don't know the difference for janome 6234xl....its £50 more ....hmmmm still 🤔
Another good review. I got the brother343d as I saw the review on that first and it came yesterday I love it. If I knew this had a differential feed I would have got it as it’s cheaper. I’m new to sewing and overlockers
I've had a mixed experience with this machine. It's the first overlocker that I've used but I do love what it can do. I have a problem with the door at the front of the machine in that the little black bar that holds it in place creeps out every single time it is opened and closed. I have to keep pushing the black hinge rod back in each time otherwise the whole thing comes out as far as the machine will allowed and the right hand side becomes detached. what a nuisance this is.
Great tutorial Abi - got mine all setup, but when I press the pedal nothing happens! My light is on, so there is power - am I missing something obvious anyone? :)
Hi Abi, I bought that machine a few weeks ago and thanks to your wonderful review, I have been able to make good use of it. Unfortunately, the thread of the 2 needles is despite what I'm doing, always to loose. If I pull at the seam you can see the thread. I can't change the thread tension any higher, because the wheel is already on 9. Do you have any ideas how I could improve it.
Hi, thank you for the review! Ended up buying this for my mum for her birthday. I wonder if you have a tutorial video on how to use this machine? It's her first overhead locker :)
Hello, I ended up getting rid of my Singer, hated it, threading was awful , horrible to use, not a nice machine, BUT I got myself a Brother 2104D with extension table 3 extra feet and a easy thread system, Love the Brother, Far better machine and so easy to use.
Hi Abi A big thank you for this video - I've been pondering an overlocker for ages (I use a regular sewing machine almost on a daily basis) but didn't want to spend mega bucks only to find I would not have a use for an overlocker so decided to shell out on this Lidl one last week - having seen this YT review I'm hoping I won't have cause to regret the purchase! As a novice user which thread combination should I be using to sew a patch to the inside knees of my grandsons school jogger bottom trousers which have been "knee'd" - would it be a 2-thread option as I don't want to use a cutter but merely secure the patch fabric (an old pair of my black leggings!) to the split area on the boys' trousers? Many thanks if you are able to help with this basic query! x
I enjoy your videos! Very helpful. I do have a thread question. What brand of thread do you recommend for the serger and sewing machine and how old is thread still good to use. Roz USA
Age of thread is really about quality of thread. If you store it in a dark place, in a sealed container, then it doesnt fade or dry out. Poor quality thread is manufactured in dry conditions. I love guterman for sewing -its reasonably priced and you can use moon thread in the overlocker - i think you have maxi lock which seems to get great reviews too x Thanks for your comment - maybe other US followers can help?
Hi Abi, thanks for this great video. Could you explain to me please how the stitch width adjuster works with no markings, or under what circumstances you would need to change it. I turned mine completely one way, then the other, I couldn’t see a difference. have no idea where mine is set now🤷🏻♀️
It’s not helpful to not have a mark to show the knife width. Watch this, Oh no! Loops and Threads Hanging Off Serger and Overlocker | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵🌸 czcams.com/video/Kagpd_DD-SI/video.html 🌸for what it does.
Sorry it’s me again I’ve been offered this machine for £100, only used twice I’ve watched your videos around it and from your feedback could see you weren’t impressed with the knife. My head is totally battered with all the different models available . Would you recommend this model or is there another one that stands out from all the rest that won’t break the bank 🧵
@@AbisDen Thank you so much for your response, I shall be returning mine. I will invest in a Brother at a later stage or check your videos to see which ones you recommend 😊 ( i am new to your channel)
Thanks Barb. It depends on your needs, but overall, this is a good solid machine, it has an easy threading system, but the knife is difficult to use for example. I like the machine but I do prefer their s14-78 for the knife but that’s a smaller lighter model. At this price though... again, it’s a bargain
All Overlockers offer the same stitches, they all do 2,3 and 4 thread, rolled hem. Then from there, you use these to create the blind hem, the scallop, the lettuce effect. You’ll see companies state these extra stitches but it’s simply a technique they adapt from the basic stitches. If that makes sense.
@@AbisDen thank you. I understand. Your explanations are great. Thank you for helping us beginners. As there's so much choice but also a budget to consider. Keep up the videos for us. They are clear & not confusing & enjoy your videos. Thank you 😁
Aw, that’s so kind of you to say, thank you 😊 I should make a video to show these different stitches shouldn’t I? I don’t think these “budget” machines are not too different to the higher end machines. This one certainly is offering plenty for my money. Good luck and happy sewing!
Amazing to get 2, 3, and 4 thread for the that price, and Singer brand to boot! One of the things I've been pondering is the 5 thread. That seems to be the industry standard for complete overlock construction. Have you tried one Abi?
I have only tried a 5 thread coverstitch (Brother) but not overlock - I wonder if there is confusion with it being an overlock - I do need to look into it some more x Thanks Colin
@@AbisDen the stich is the same as the litle piece of fabric that comes with the machine but i use some cheap thread and it breakes then i use gutterman and it works Thanks abi

If we could get them to bring out a coverstitch we’d be laughing!
Rebonjour....vous aurez -le temps de nous expliquer comment faire un surjet 3fil avec aiguille de droite car je n' arrive pas a l' avoir petit a 3'5cm....j' ai toujours les boucles dans le vide....en fait nous montrer comment l'a régler dans tout ce qu'.elle peut faire....grand merci.
Désolé pour la réponse tardive, je vais regarder ça, la marge de couture est toujours délicate à maîtriser, mais faites un réglage au couteau pour vous aider :) Bonne chance !
@@AbisDen ah merci mais depuis j' ai changé de surjeteuse et je me suis offerte la gloria de Babylock.
Thank you for your review.
Is the Singer 14SH754 overlocker is the same as Singer S010L overlocker ? They look similar.
They are very similar, almost exactly the same. The S010L was made for Lidl distribution- companies often give models a very slight different style and a different number so they can identify where it was purchased. Sometimes just different accessories is enough to alter the price.
Is this overlocker a metal construction on the inside?
Also, am I right that this overlocker doesn’t come with a dust cover?
I’ll open it up and let you know. Follow my video to make a cover
Hi Abi, how does Singer S010L compare with the Necchi OV234/Singer S14-78 please? Are they similar? Thank you.
@Abi’s Den thanks for kind reply love....janome 744d...i am thinking because its got free arm and only about £30 difference....i don't know the difference for janome 6234xl....its £50 more ....hmmmm still 🤔
Can you sew using a single thread or do you have to use a min. of 2 threads?... As you can tell I have now idea about using this machine but I'm learning.
Hey Dave. Modern machines are lockstitch machines which need two threads. Good luck with your machine and keep asking .
can I have other manufacturers on the sewing needles for singer
You can use any needles, as long as they are not industrial
Can this overlocker work well with *jersey knits* or *medium and thicker* fabrics like denim or thick cotton?
Yes, all
Bonjour. Grand merci pour votre vidéo ....Je suis de Belgique et elle vient d' être en vente a 90€ en promo..Allez vous faire d' autres vidéos? Car il n' a pas grand chose sur youtube sur cette machine🤔. Vous pouvez me dire à quoi sert le convertisseur?...car nous n' avons pas beaucoup d' explications....grand merci.
It really is a great little machine. I would love to make more videos on this machine. I didn’t know it was still available. Thank you for your comment, happy sewing Nicole!
Struggling to get stitches right it is on all the 3 s at the moment can't get the stich at the back to line up at the top
Does it have differential feet? Like can it gather?
And does it have adjustable stitch length and width?
Yes. Watch the video for details
Abi’s Den I watched the relevant part of the video. You mentioned stitch “length” but not “width”. So, is the width adjustable? If not, does it mean that all my serging will be of the same width? I wish if you showed the *RIGHT SIDE* of this machine so we can actually see the dials.
Quick question: what’s the difference between overlocker and serger?
Sergers and Overlockers are the same. The name serger and Overlockers are synonymous to this type of machine. Serging is the cutting, overlocking is the actual stitching
Does this machine work with thick fabric? I'd wish to do curtains and furniture cushions. (I am newbie, not even sure if overlocker is proper for such work?)
Hi. I would say it’s okay for heavier fabrics. But not too heavy. It’s the same quality as a brother or a pfaff. If you’re looking for a decent quality, try a Janome or a Juki. Much more reliable :-) enter our giveaway competition. We are giving a Juki overlocker
Hi Abi.
Does singer S010L has to use just for one type of sewing (showed in a book) or can I use it for plain and basic sewing as well?
Thank you
Brand new to your channel as bought one of these machines. Subsequently subscribed! Thanks 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for the video Abi. Could you please do a short video on the threading of the machine as I have experienced some problems getting the machine to re thread after 2 of the threads broke off.
Loved the demo abi iv just bought the singer heavyweight and love it 😍 leaning so much from you xx
Hope you enjoy it! I have that machine too, it sew brilliantly
hi can you help me to choose between janome 644d 744d , or 6234xl.....please. 🙏. i am so confused....or any other good overlocker...o e i liked brother 4234d...is out of stock every where....thanks a lot in advance....
Forget the brother. It’s not a good price (It was good at £100 but not a penny more!) I would go for the janome. Choose the budget for you and the features that suit.
@@AbisDen thanks for kind reply love....janome 744d...i am thinking because its got free arm and only about £30 difference....i don't know the difference for janome 6234xl....its £50 more ....hmmmm still 🤔
thanks 🌹❤🌹
Buonasera io ho un taglia e cuci uguali ma nel vostro video non capisco ..so parlare solo in Italiano si puo'avere la traduzione ? In Italiano grazie
Another good review. I got the brother343d as I saw the review on that first and it came yesterday I love it. If I knew this had a differential feed I would have got it as it’s cheaper. I’m new to sewing and overlockers
I've had a mixed experience with this machine. It's the first overlocker that I've used but I do love what it can do. I have a problem with the door at the front of the machine in that the little black bar that holds it in place creeps out every single time it is opened and closed. I have to keep pushing the black hinge rod back in each time otherwise the whole thing comes out as far as the machine will allowed and the right hand side becomes detached. what a nuisance this is.
Great tutorial Abi - got mine all setup, but when I press the pedal nothing happens! My light is on, so there is power - am I missing something obvious anyone? :)
Hi Abi,
I bought that machine a few weeks ago and thanks to your wonderful review, I have been able to make good use of it. Unfortunately, the thread of the 2 needles is despite what I'm doing, always to loose. If I pull at the seam you can see the thread. I can't change the thread tension any higher, because the wheel is already on 9. Do you have any ideas how I could improve it.
Yes. Most likely you’ve not threaded the thread through the lower guides fully.
@@AbisDen thank you very much
Hi, how has everyone found this model so far? I’ve just started sewing and this is back in Lidl from Thursday… is it worth buying?! Thanks!
@@Izzy19990 are you still happy with it? Considering one for a gift :)
Hi, thank you for the review! Ended up buying this for my mum for her birthday. I wonder if you have a tutorial video on how to use this machine? It's her first overhead locker :)
You’re so sweet. Lucky mum! There are a few videos in the overlocker playlist but yes, I will add a few more
@@AbisDen thank you very much :) really appreciate it
Hello, I ended up getting rid of my Singer, hated it, threading was awful , horrible to use, not a nice machine, BUT I got myself a Brother 2104D with extension table 3 extra feet and a easy thread system, Love the Brother, Far better machine and so easy to use.
Hi Abi
A big thank you for this video - I've been pondering an overlocker for ages (I use a regular sewing machine almost on a daily basis) but didn't want to spend mega bucks only to find I would not have a use for an overlocker so decided to shell out on this Lidl one last week - having seen this YT review I'm hoping I won't have cause to regret the purchase!
As a novice user which thread combination should I be using to sew a patch to the inside knees of my grandsons school jogger bottom trousers which have been "knee'd" - would it be a 2-thread option as I don't want to use a cutter but merely secure the patch fabric (an old pair of my black leggings!) to the split area on the boys' trousers? Many thanks if you are able to help with this basic query! x
Hi thank you on info ,but it’s my first overlocker machine & nervous using I haven’t any idea 🙂
I enjoy your videos! Very helpful. I do have a thread question. What brand of thread do you recommend for the serger and sewing machine and how old is thread still good to use. Roz USA
Age of thread is really about quality of thread. If you store it in a dark place, in a sealed container, then it doesnt fade or dry out. Poor quality thread is manufactured in dry conditions. I love guterman for sewing -its reasonably priced and you can use moon thread in the overlocker - i think you have maxi lock which seems to get great reviews too x Thanks for your comment - maybe other US followers can help?
Favor traduzir as explicações em português de Portugal,obrigada
Desculpe, não sei como fazer isso
@@AbisDen tenho uma máquina igual a essa e não percebo a sua explicação no vídeo, por favor traduzir para português obrigada
Hi, what's the different between singer S14-78 and S010L? Thanks
Take a look at the unboxing videos for these machines. You’ll see a number of differences. 🎃
@@AbisDen Thanks. I'm sorry, but I don't speak English and I have got very difficult to understand a videos. Is better S14-78 or S010L?
S14-78 is better
@@AbisDen Thanks. You were very kind.
And why the S14-78 is better? What is the most important difference?
Thanks for the review. It’s very useful. 👍🏻
Vorrei sapere quanti altri punti fa' questa macchina oltre al lovrelck
Hi Abi, thanks for this great video. Could you explain to me please how the stitch width adjuster works with no markings, or under what circumstances you would need to change it. I turned mine completely one way, then the other, I couldn’t see a difference. have no idea where mine is set now🤷🏻♀️
It’s not helpful to not have a mark to show the knife width. Watch this, Oh no! Loops and Threads Hanging Off Serger and Overlocker | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵🌸 czcams.com/video/Kagpd_DD-SI/video.html 🌸for what it does.
Abi’s Den thanks so much Abi for referring me to the video. That’s really helpful, now I understand it!!
Sorry it’s me again
I’ve been offered this machine for £100, only used twice
I’ve watched your videos around it and from your feedback could see you weren’t impressed with the knife.
My head is totally battered with all the different models available .
Would you recommend this model or is there another one that stands out from all the rest that won’t break the bank 🧵
Hiya thanks for your videos. Is it worth me buying or should I invest in something better?
I much prefer the other singer. This was a nightmare to change needles and thread up. But if you have nimble fingers. You might be fine. 🌷
@@AbisDen Thank you so much for your response, I shall be returning mine. I will invest in a Brother at a later stage or check your videos to see which ones you recommend 😊 ( i am new to your channel)
Thank you for the review!
Great review, thanks. Would you recommend this as a first time overlocker purchase?
Thanks Barb. It depends on your needs, but overall, this is a good solid machine, it has an easy threading system, but the knife is difficult to use for example. I like the machine but I do prefer their s14-78 for the knife but that’s a smaller lighter model. At this price though... again, it’s a bargain
@@AbisDen thank you! I'll check that one out too 🙂
One question please. How many stitches does it have?
All Overlockers offer the same stitches, they all do 2,3 and 4 thread, rolled hem. Then from there, you use these to create the blind hem, the scallop, the lettuce effect. You’ll see companies state these extra stitches but it’s simply a technique they adapt from the basic stitches. If that makes sense.
@@AbisDen thank you. I understand. Your explanations are great. Thank you for helping us beginners. As there's so much choice but also a budget to consider. Keep up the videos for us. They are clear & not confusing & enjoy your videos. Thank you 😁
Aw, that’s so kind of you to say, thank you 😊 I should make a video to show these different stitches shouldn’t I? I don’t think these “budget” machines are not too different to the higher end machines. This one certainly is offering plenty for my money. Good luck and happy sewing!
@@AbisDen ... how do you do a rolled hem on an overlocker? Do you need different feet?
Do you have the other tipe of singer weaving machine
Amazing to get 2, 3, and 4 thread for the that price, and Singer brand to boot! One of the things I've been pondering is the 5 thread. That seems to be the industry standard for complete overlock construction. Have you tried one Abi?
I have only tried a 5 thread coverstitch (Brother) but not overlock - I wonder if there is confusion with it being an overlock - I do need to look into it some more x Thanks Colin
Great review 👍 is the machine powerful enough to sew leather? Thanks
I need to test that still
Abi’s Den cool, thanks for the reply, have you reviewed or can you recommend a regular sewing machine that will cope with leather?
Abi today i bought mine in lidl but the blue tensioner is a litle bit loose its normal ???
Hmm🤔 give it a try and see how you get on. Mine isn’t loose. It it’s doesn’t give you a good stitch try changing the dial. Hopefully, it’ll work.
@@AbisDen the stich is the same as the litle piece of fabric that comes with the machine but i use some cheap thread and it breakes then i use gutterman and it works
Thanks abi
Can it handle silks and denim?
I wouldn’t use it for silk but it does work with fine fabrics and denim - not too many layers
What about on pleather?
thank you for this review. i did see this in lidl
You’re welcome 😊
How much did you buy it?
Here is the latest video - The newest machine from Lidl, the Silvercrest sewing machine. It actually isn't too bad, and if you watch the video, you can get a few great tips on how to use your sewing machine.
