Some of you may be thinking I'm crazy. Let me explain lol. I am auctioning off this brand new serger for my mother. She ordered this off ebay a few years ago. I wondered why since SHE DOESN'T EVEN SEW LOL!! Well, she had "visions of sewing" that lasted all of about two months. She never even took this out of the box. I don't sew either. I don't know anything about it but will try to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability. The first time it was taken out of the box was today for these pictures. It comes with instruction booklet and instruction DVD as pictured in #4. Accessories are in pic #3. As you see in pic #2 the inspection tag is still on it. It's not real big but boy is it heavy, weighing over 17lbs. This would make a great Christmas gift, I've been told they're quite handy lol.

Questions & Comments

What is the brand name? Is shipping paid by the bidder?

Nov 21st, 2011 at 1:38:51 PM EST by arredhead73

Free shipping and I think the brand is Gemsy & Yamata which I've never heard of but again I don't sew.

Nov 22nd, 2011 at 5:59:38 PM EST by designsbyyag

You're so welcome! I'm sure it would be handy if I sewed but I just don't have any interest in sewing. I want it to go to a good home :)

Apparently it's a Chinese off-brand, there's several forum threads on them being difficult to use/thread from people who actually also purchased them off eBay. Can't find an actual model on eBay itself, Amazon no record. I will have to do some more research. They do not seem to be very user/beginner friendly based on the reviews.

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 12:51:47 AM EST by LiSashay

I don't know anything about them but it DOES have an instruction booklet and DVD with it.

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 5:41:03 AM EST by elkaye7

Does the DVD/instruction manual work? I can not seem to find a threading manual online. :-) Thanks for listing this, especially with free shipping.

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 1:39:35 AM EST by LiSashay

I mis-spoke it's a CD not DVD and I just popped it into my computer and it has written instructions that I could open but has several files on it and I don't have time this morning to check them all. I'll check when I get home tonight :)

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 6:08:29 AM EST by elkaye7

A friend gave me one exactly like this one, however mine was in very poor condition. I took it to a repairman and he said it was from 1976. I did not attempt to go further with it as it would cost way more to fix it. He said it was a good one when it was manufactured. So with the parts in tact, and practically new in the box it should be okay to serge with. Besides it is free to the winner. So what has one got to lose. Thanks for putting it up for auction.

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 3:27:47 PM EST by nancydeez

Thanks for the wonderful comments Nancy!

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 4:24:47 PM EST by elkaye7

Whoever wins this, please make sure you oil it before use because it has been sitting so long. Oil will evaporate over time and it may cause the moving parts to freeze up. Most likely, the instructional CD will tell you what parts need the oil. Trust me....I have enough sergers to know. Yamata/Gemsy are very good brands, so someone will be getting a really good deal here! The lucky winner may find it intimidating to sew with at first because unlike sergers that are intended for home use (this is one of their smaller industrial versions), it does not have clear increment markings on the tension dials. So you'll have to play around with it to get the tension set to your liking.

Nov 24th, 2011 at 3:52:52 AM EST by watatoe

I'm sure glad there are people here will great tips lol. I'm sure no help with this stuff lol. Thanks watatoe!!

Nov 24th, 2011 at 5:40:02 AM EST by elkaye7

This is an awesome auction for anyone that is experienced enough to use it. Industrial, WOW! they can sew heavy fabrics such as leather and vinyl. What a deal, I wished I wasn't so much like your Mother, only in that(my new Serger, still sitting unused, but out of the box, progress! for over a year) I wish you many credit blessings!!! fanned, you're a generous soul!!! :o)

Nov 24th, 2011 at 5:04:22 AM EST by Teresa523

Thanks Teresa, there's no use in it sitting around any longer lol! Someone can get lots of good use out of it :)

Nov 24th, 2011 at 5:40:40 AM EST by elkaye7

Hi :) Can you please tell me how much shipping will to to Canada?

Nov 26th, 2011 at 10:02:29 AM EST by tashajamie

Hmmmm, I have no idea lol. My zip code is 45036 and this sucker weights about 17.5lbs in the box. Hope that helps :)

Nov 26th, 2011 at 1:08:50 PM EST by elkaye7

Wish I had enough credits to bid! I was reading some of the comments and I love Listia too! Iike the credit thing better than money...nice auction...good luck! :)

What is a serger? What different is it to a sewing machine?

Nov 26th, 2011 at 8:39:49 PM EST by omajohnsen

From Wikipedia: An overlock stitch sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging, hemming or seaming. Usually an overlock sewing machine will cut the edges of the cloth as they are fed through (such machines are called ‘sergers’ in North America), though some are made without cutters. The inclusion of automated cutters allows overlock machines to create finished seams easily and quickly.

Nov 26th, 2011 at 10:06:10 PM EST by elkaye7

I wish! I've been needing an overlock machine for the longest but never had the cash to get it. This would help out so much to finish off my garments properly for my portfolio and school assignments. I'm in school for fashion design.

Ooooo! What a cool profession!!

Nov 27th, 2011 at 2:56:16 AM EST by elkaye7

Already a fan, I don't sew either, but I shared this on FB for you

Nov 27th, 2011 at 11:33:33 AM EST by psloan

Thanks so much I really appreciate that! :)

Nov 27th, 2011 at 1:30:43 PM EST by elkaye7

does it cut?

Nov 27th, 2011 at 2:09:54 PM EST by greeneyes2010

The instruction manual shows how to replace the knives so I'm assuming yes lol.

Nov 27th, 2011 at 2:44:18 PM EST by elkaye7

Oh man if i had the credits I'd so be getting this for my Mom who has been looking for something like this. She loves to sew and has had her current sewing machine for 14 years almost. It's been very good to her through everything it's been through. It was stole and recovered by police. She had a hard time getting the finger print dust off once she got it back. She's giving some sewing lessons to my 2 oldest daughters on it. And just lately she's been wanting to get something like this to make the things she makes look so much nicer looking. She tried getting a loan to finance an embroidery machine. But that didn't work out for her. She's also talked about having a serger as well. But with being a on a fixed income she has to watch her budget. I wished I could do something like this for her.

Nov 27th, 2011 at 2:29:30 PM EST by Lissa777

You're a very sweet daughter!

Nov 27th, 2011 at 2:39:33 PM EST by elkaye7

Nov 28th, 2011 at 1:25:18 PM EST by elkaye7

Does this use 3 threads or option to use more than 3?

Nov 28th, 2011 at 8:29:58 PM EST by damsiteRR

I'm not sure, the instruction booklet doesn't say. Is there another way for me to find out for you by looking at it lol?

Nov 28th, 2011 at 8:56:36 PM EST by elkaye7

Are there 3 threads hanging there or 4, I can't quite tell. It looks like they are going thru 4 holes on top, then 3 over and 1 down???

Nov 29th, 2011 at 12:02:25 AM EST by damsiteRR

There are 4 threads :)

Nov 29th, 2011 at 5:37:02 AM EST by elkaye7

Looks like a 4 thread machine.

Nov 29th, 2011 at 2:20:13 AM EST by deadbride

Are there 2 needles? Do you know the size of the motor/ hp. I tried to look this up {google}...

Nov 29th, 2011 at 11:33:17 AM EST by GJordan

From what I can tell there are two needles. I added info to the auction description that hopefully will answer any other questions :)

Nov 29th, 2011 at 4:36:31 PM EST by elkaye7

Thank you, that additional information was very helpful. Very nice auction!
