White Serger

20 years ago

I've asked my DH for a serger for Christmas but since he knows nothing about sewing etc. I have to pick it out. Joann's is having a sale on 12/4 on a White Superlock 1934D. Regular price 499.99 on sale for 329.99, with coupon $296.99.

Does anyone have an opinion on this serger? I don't know much about them either in order to compare. This has 3 or 4 thread overlock, instant rolled edge, automatic tension release, open wide threading, adjustable stitch length, differential feed, and a free video.

Does anyone have this one? How do you like it.

Thanks.

    I have a White Serger but don't know if its the exact same as the one you are describing. Mine is called White Speedylock. It has similar features to that you described. One of the features recommended by several people who had sergers was the Differential feed. The lady at the store where I bought mine recommended Differential Feed and spent an hour teaching me how to use the serger. You will find the video very helpful. I am pleased with the one that I purchased.

    I have the White ATS with differential feed and have been pleased with it, it's almost 2 years old now.

    I have a White 534 that's over 20 years old and never have any problems with it.

    I did some checking on this machine feature and price wise, particularly price wise, as Joanns can be expensive when it comes to sewing machines and other items with or without a coupon.

    The other thing is check your coupon for exclusions, sewing machines and sergers may be excluded so read the fine print on the bottom of the coupon.

    The model serger you want is a discontinued model. If you check the link, if for your information only, you will find you can get the White top of the line serger with extra feet and a few more features included at no extra charge for $3 difference than Allbrand's advertised price, you pay no sales tax, and pay the shipping charge. The new model is the better deal for your money with extra featues and feet.

    I would look around further locally and on web price wise as I don't think Joanns is giving you a good price. Target has it for less than Joanns, but out of stock. Consumer reports I read give the serger favorable reviews.

    I recently purchased a Singer serger at Walmart for $197 and dearly love the thing. If I had known about the White serger, I would have purchased it for the extra features and feet..my Singer didn't include extra feet and automatic thread cutter.

    Good choice, Kathie.
    I bought my White ATS 2000 from Allbrands a couple years ago and am very happy with it. When it came time to order sergers for our 4-H sewing clubs, we bought the same machines from the same source.
    I hope you enjoy yours as much!

    I have owned a 1934D for about 6 months now and I love it. I bought a singer at WalMart and had to take it back because the teacher in the class I was taking at JoAnn Fabrics couldn't get it to work. So I bought the 1934D from her right on the spot and have never looked back. Love it love it love it.
