Singer 14T968DC Professional™ 5 Overlock Serger Machine

It is great product, easy to use and with variety of stitches as a cover stitch and overlock machine. You will find a lot of videos and help on google and GPT

Easy to thread and the auto tension works fantastic at all speeds and with different threads and fabrics. Highly recommend for the novice to the professional user. A treasure of features waiting to be discovered.

My husband bought me this machine for 46th wedding anniversary. I absolutely love it. It’s gonna be a little hard to learn, but I will learn it.

I bought this machine in 2011. The manual that came with it needs improvement the instructions are not complete and the illustrations are confusing and missing steps. That being said once I learned the machine love it. Still going great though it's time to have it serviced

Easy to use, make faster and more profesional look.

I have been using my machine over a year now and it is perfect! It does everything I need and more! I have done clean seams and hems. It was easy to set up and use.

I bought this machine about 7-8 years ago. It took a little bit to learn how the machine operates but it was so very worth it. I currently have a Baby Lock Triumph but that is only due to the air threading and if a thread breaks you didn’t have to rethread the entire machine. Other than that i think this singer Serger takes the cake on it’s beautiful seams and the knife cuts like butter giving your finished edge that sleek look. If they made this machine in an air threaded model i would so buy it again. I really dread using my baby lock bc it just doesn’t come out nearly as clean and smooth. Lesson learned.

I purchased this machine in September 2023. I am fully self taught on sewing. I purchased the 5 thread machine because I thought down the road I may need to use 5 threads. I received the machine in September 2023 & didn’t take it out of the box till November. Once you understand how to thread the machine it’s simple. Singer has taken the guess work out of the tension settings. This machine saves hours of sewing with the single needle machine. This serger has made me a better sewing person & has boosted my confidence. I also own the Singer HD 6800C the two make a great pair. I also didn’t get the free feet as a perk but, did get a bonus Iron. Do not be intimidated by this unit. It is simple

I purchased this machine in September of 2023. Didn’t open the box until November. I have never used a serger & am still learning a lot about this machine but I am very glad I purchased the 5 thread machine. It took a while to learn the threading & different ways to use this machine but now it’s simple. Singer took all the guess work out of the tension & threading once you understand how to do it it’s simple. I love the machine.

I hesitated for a long time and I am glad I decided to buy it. I love it!

I've made everything from curtains to a wedding dress using this machine. It is quickly becoming my go-to machine. When I purchased this about 6 months ago, I was new to sergers and there was a learning curve both threading and learning all this machine has to offer. Singer did a great job with the manual and accompanying workbook! My prior review was deleted-I believe it was getting negative feedback. Fact: this is not a beginner "throw in a bobbin and spool" and your off machine. If you're struggling, be patient, don't give up--you will be rewarded. This machine can do it all. (For anyone thinking I'm too negative: I am a loyal Singer enthusiast owning 4 machines from a basic for travel to embroidery).

Je suis très heureuse de l’achat effectué chez vous la surjetteuse professionnelle 514 T 968 DC Serger et le fer à repasser Ces articles travaillent très bien Le moins agréable avec vous c’est qu’il est très difficile de se faire parler en français pourtant vous n Hésitez pas à vouloir connaître mon avis sur les produits achetés chez vous même si on est francophone Ce qui complique de beaucoup pour ma part l’achat d’autres produit comme un ensemble de pieds presseur de surjetteuse, aiguilles etcétéra Monique Bourassa Tanguay

Easy site to order from. Shipping was quick and the boxes arrived in good condition.

It's a great serger, I bought this one for my mother, it was a little complicated at first but it was easy to understand once we got to know the functions. Personally I have never used a serger before, but with the help of my mother's knowledge it took me a day to figure most of it out. It would really helpful if singer could send a CD or online video tutorial link that a person can go to to learn the features. The manual was not very helpful. But serger works great

Been expecting owning this 5 treads overlock for years! ☑️

Started using my new Pro5 serger little over a week ago. I'm already envisioning the garments and household items I can make. This is my first serger and it was intimidating out of the box. I've owned several sewing machines and one embroidery but I've never seen anything like this. Like a lot of other first timers I looked for help on social media but didn't find any learning shortcuts so I turned to the workbook that comes with the machine. The workbook has been very helpful although I did find an error on a tension setting -- so play with the tension settings as you practice/learn. For other first timers like me, take your time, familiarizing yourself with the manual, label key pages for quick reference. I also labeled everything on the machine. Maybe a little overkill but it's only been a week and I can already take off some of the labels. It really helped with the learning curve. So far I've practiced every day trying different stitches and actually made a few household items. Don't give up. Be patient. Another tip I'm finding useful is to make notes in the manual or workbook when fine tuning tension. There are so many stitches and options. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase a serger.

I waited a long time for Singer to get the Pro 5 Serger back in stock. I have a 14CG754 and an S0100 serger, so I was only going to use the Pro 5 for overstitching. It turns out that the Pro 5 is such a solid, easily threaded machine that I have not used either of the other sergers since. I guess I might sell them. The Pro 5 has a little switch type thing to thread the lower and cover loopers that makes threading them a breeze. You also do not have to search through your gear to find the spreader when you are not using the upper looper because it is attached to the upper looper. The best feature is probably the automatic tension setter. You look up the stitch you are using and set the dial to the number. Furthermore, the lookup table is printed on the machine. You can tweak the tension, but I have not had to. The Pro 5 is the only serger you need.

Works well. Took me a minute to get situated since I have never used a serger, but once I got it that was it😁. I am satisfied with my seems and will continue to get the most out of it.

Sews perfectly right out of the box. I use it for cover stitching to complement my three other machines while sewing garments. A real workhorse!

Since 2009 I have had a love hate relationship with my Huskylocks15. I was hesitant going from a 4 thread to a 5 thread worried about the love hate relationship again. I followed the suggestions in reviews by experienced seamstresses and read the manual and workbook prior to the machines arrival. I chose this machine because I mainly sew extremely thick material and the machine is designed with a higher presser foot. I was also drawn to the automatic tension adjustment, since that seemed to be the main cause of my love hate relationship with my Husqvarna machine. Since recieving the machine, my production has improved tremendously! I have gad 2 issues so far. 1. needle broke, which was my fault. 2. somehow thread got stuck between the needle plate and feed dog. Absolutely no idea how I did it, wasn't easy to remove, but that's it. I sew multiple layers of fleece,flannel sometimes felt and a rubbery fabric. I am loving machine!
