Pros
- 1. He sews everything perfectly. 2. Thread tension does not need to be adjusted, everything is always nice and even. For different fabrics on the overlocker, I only adjust the distance of the knife. Sometimes when the threads seem to be loose, I just set all the handles to the maximum tension and everything turns out beautifully. 3. Not capricious about threads. Especially the overlock. I even tried Soviet cotton 80, swept over, although there were gaps of 20 cm, and there was not much tension. With mersinized 2022 cotton 50, it sews perfectly both in undercoats and in overlock. 4. You can put threads on bobbins - it is not sensitive to this 5. The distance of the knife, in addition to the standard values of 5-7 mm, can also be adjusted up or down with a screw under the cover, if you suddenly have a non-standard task. 6. It is heavy and therefore stable, does not vibrate, about 8 kg, it can be lifted.
Cons
- 1. For stitching, the foot must be replaced with a transparent one in order to get into the markup. That native that is - completely blind. The foot costs from 1000, no matter how I searched for copies, I did not find fakes. Fits Merrylock feet. 2. Minor annoyances: the plate under the needles was screwed not quite in the center, I had to screw it over. The power cord socket dangled a lot from birth, I had to remove the entire sheath (which is not so easy, everything is tight there), it turned out that the screws were simply not screwed. Well, everything got better of course. 3. Threading requires good eyesight and is done with tweezers. In the light of the lamp, the metal parts gleam and the hooks are hard to see. 4. Switching from stitching to overlock and back from 5 minutes plus trial tests, if the test did not work, all over again, look at all the settings and try again. It's not fast, if you keep track of time. (Count: thread 4 threads through 5-6 knots each, raise the lower the knife, switch the overlock / stitcher lever, the mode knob, 3 settings knobs. Double-check everything so that the machine does not break, so the instructions say that a breakdown is possible if the lever do not lower / raise the mode (I did this, in this case the looper beats against the body . Nothing really broke. But probably forget it.))
