| As in prior reviews, mine arrived broken :( |
As in prior reviews, my serger also arrived broken. The thread stand was screwed on too tight and snapped off during shipment. Still waiting for a replacement which is being sent using the same slow DHL to USPS method. Will hopefully arrive in one piece. Will amend this review if I ever receive a working product. :p |

| Great product |
I received mine two weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy it. It is tricky to thread but any serger is. The manual is great if you read it step by step and test before you sew anything. One thread not quite where it is supposed and your sewing will not go well. Read the manual.
I think as with anything else, practice makes perfect. I bought this because I needed something inexpensive and it was the same brand as the sewing machine I have which is a little workhorse and does denim.
I'm not sure what support is going to be like but I anticipate that I'll probably want it serviced/maintained locally and to find parts not directly from the manufacturer. We'll see in time how it will work out. So far so good. The price to value ratio is definitely high with the number of feet included. I'm glad Amazon is carrying this product.
This has a differential feed which I'm still playing with but can definitely see will be a total bonus in everything I make.
It is so quiet, I love it.

| Euro-pro 534DX -- expensive parts |
Overall I have been happy with the performance of this machine. However, just recently my daughter broke the plate under the foot. There's a small, very thin piece of metal on the plate on which the thread rides. She tried to sew some heavy material, blue jean fabric, and the combination of the material and (probably) her pulling, bent the metal piece. I called for a replacement part -- the part was $49.95 plus $10.00 shipping!! I'm going to keep watching ebay for a used machine to buy to use for replacement parts. |

| This is my 1st Serger----Oh My |
It has taken me 1 week to see the in & outs of serging. Now to replace the needles.I have been working on this all morning. If I get one in the other want go. If I take one out the other will go in. These are the ones that came with the serger.Now I have lost 2 i/2 hrs on this. I am wondering if the needles are bad. Not a good thing for a new kid on the block. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Lady De |

| Inquiring re a replacement part |
Great machine!
Looking for a replacement part for the small needle plate that attaches to the larger plate. The small plate is the one with 2 prongs.
I live in Ontario approx. 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto.
Do you have a supplier for parts in this area?
Info would be appreciated |
