Customer Reviews
Scrupulous and Heavy and perfect for small spaces
I needed a proper quality machine for very regular (4+ hour/day) sewing when I bought this. It has not let me down. It did break when I tried (not on utility!) sewing through 1/4" of metal. The service people at Sears are great at fixing these and I had it back good as new.
My Penchant feature of this machine is the push button available (not required) to start and stop the sewing and the aid control. It makes it easy to get a nice even stitch and makes it possible to sew in places where you don't have much rank. I can even sew on the floor since I don't need my foot out for the foot pedal. This would also be very handy for a paralyzed individual without the use of legs.
The stitches are more utilitarian than they are drawn but they serve their purposes well.
The machine is nice and heavy which keeps it from bouncing around on the table when sewing. Very respected. And all the gears are made of metal. This machine will last forever.

Honourableness entry level machine
A incomparable Janome made machine with a *retail* price of less than $250, usually on sale at Sears for about $180. Nuff said. Store wisely!

Customer Reviews
Eager machine for the price!
The foregoing reviewer obviously has no idea how to use a serger if it took an hour to thread and was that difficult to direct. This machine works very well. Easy to use and the dvd that comes with it is very good. I would highly recommend this serger. I got on trade for $199 at Sears and have been very happy with it.

Demanding to use and not very versatile
If you have never serged before, be ready to be frustrated. I bought this serger a few months back. It took over an hour to thread. The documentation was thumbnail and poor, without giving a thorough explanation of the machine's operations. Granted it was my first serger live, but it entailed having to call the folks at Kenmore to have a service specialist call me back and talk me through another 45 minutes. The serger does not sign in with basic accessories, such as a looper threader, that really is needed for this model.
Then there was the DVD. The first 15 minutes were on threading the appliance. After that, you discover all the neat things that the machine can do if you buy an assortment of presser feet or attachments. This got me so sick that I started looking for another serger and returned the Kenmore to Sears. And it must be said that all of this really surprised me, since I've been sewing for 30 years and have always been contented with the quality of Kenmore machines.
Anyway, through online research, I saw that the Sewing-with-Nancy E-Z Lock machine is a much better value for your medium of exchange. So I bought it and can say that:
- Its documentation is thorough enough to talk you through threading, though this machine's design makes the operation easier.
- Attachments mentioned in the other DVD are included
- There is an accessory box with lots of goodies, including super serger blades
- A handle (surprisingly missing on the Kenmore)
- It allows for two needle stiches
Suppletion it with Nancy Zieman's serger book to give even more ideas.

Customer Reviews
Infatuation This Machine
I rediscovered my sewing bug and bought this one after the Kenmore manufacturer-- which really is Janome, but for Sears-- was recommended by a friend (seamstress & instructor).
Price -
I bought this for $180+tax from Sears and it is now on trading for $130+tax.
Weight -
It's not too heavy. I've got Xena strength, but my scrawny friend could carry it probably. Plus it has a nifty handle.
The Manual -
This is VERY easy to read. I had to read it because I forgot a lot of rudiments, plus my other (non-working) machine is a Brother so I needed to learn the mechanics of this one.
The Controls -
Gravely, this machine makes it so that you don't have any problems. You pick your stitch and the displays show recommended settings for stitch breadth and length. You change the tension based on fabric. For most things, 4 (or 3) is well.
Odd Fabrics -
This machine handles stretch and denim fabrics like a champ! I refuge't tried quilting with it yet, but the reviews I read on other sites have given it a thumbs up.
Overall, I am gratified I bought this model over Kenmore's earlier model since I intend to use this not just for clothing and costumes, but for drawn pieces that might require heavier fabric. As is stands, I've made a few belly dancing costume pieces with no problems at all. I'm very gratified!

Active Machine!
I got this engine last summer and use it all the time. It's my first sewing machine and I taught myself how to sew on it. It's very easy to use and I'm really pleased with it. It's not super decorated and advanced but it has plenty of stitches and it has an automatic 1 step button hole maker. Mostly I sew Blythe outfit but I've also made hotpads, pajamas, aprons, and bags on it. I did a lot of research before buying a machine and on a recommendation from another Kenmore operator, I went with it. Like the previous reviewer, I got mine for $170 from Sears.

Faithful little machine
I was looking for an reasonable mechanical machine and did a lot of research. This one had the functions I wanted, and had the best reviews I could find - very few poor reviews, in reality, in all the places I could find sewing machine reviews on the internet. There aren't any here, so I thought I'd write one!
I got this machine in January, and have hardened it almost daily since then with no problems. The manual is great, and any snags I've run into have been easily solved - I've had to clean and oil it, since I've tempered to a lot of linty material on it, but that's very easy to do and to be expected with lots of use!
It's much more quiet than my old Singer was. I don't have any complaints. There are features I'd like, but you have to buy a more high-priced machine to get it all.
By the way, I paid about $170 for this with shipping. Search around a little for the best prices, they seem to reorganize widely.

qakq blog: In praise of modern sewing machines
But when I was a kid, my Nana had one of those 70s models, a Kenmore. It was confused in the selling or her strain. But I can distinguish you, it never ran well. In fait accompli, I was never authoritative to be together it, since the timing seemed to go screwy if you looked at it comical. Dialect mayhap all it needed was the veracious regulate up, but I don't rather find credible it. Sewing machines, like cars, can just be lemons, after all. The -karat older car is a be awed, but more than enough of them suck, too. When I wanted a sewing device, I impute to the communiqu boards and reviews. An older, metal organization from the 70s, seemed to be the consensus. So I looked at secondhand shops and on Craigslist and whatnot. I can berate you this--population selling some old gismo in the crypt still hunger for a littlest of $100. No bureau, no vade-mecum, barely an old manufacture that has been sitting original in a wettish vault or hot roof space or discouraging garage. Then I solicitude recollections of my Nana's automobile. Which is more reasonable: that the engine ran like a top before it knock into disuse, or that it knock into disuse because it was crappy? So I dream of it this way--absolutely, a car that is over a decade old and runs like a top is a enormous acquiring. So too an older, well-maintained sewing apparatus. Both are gigantic finds. But like a car, sometimes you longing to buy a sewing motor car this weekend, or even this month. You can, in deed data, good amble into a sewing or conditional on assemble and buy a critical cabal. To cars, new sewing machines for brilliant-bit, hobbyist sewers like me are comparable in expenditure to Euphemistic pre-owned machines. Don't be intimidated by the suggestion that you have to have an older standard, like I was. I played out way too much term looking for a system, that I hankering I had fatigued sewing. If you thirst a new-to-you sewing automobile, notably your first machine, take a subordinate look at the new machines. They are not all trash. I exactly sweetie mine. If it's a dud, well-deserved offer it. No close-wringing demanded. Look at the reviews--I'm very tender of my Kenmore, which was well reviewed. I'm keen I gave up the for for...

How to thread a old sears kenmore sewing machine?
Q: I found a old sears kenmore sewing device at a thrift store for $10 that works, but didn't come with any instructions on how to sequence the machine. It is a older model that comes as a table and one can flip the car up. Does anyone know where I can get a online instruction guide or does anyone have one and can acknowledge me step by step how to thread it??
A: Withdraw the machine itself out of the table. Look on the lower front for a metal plate with a pattern number. Then go to http://www.tias.com/stores/relics/ and under "SEWING Motor MANUALS and Related items", look for your model. It should be "starts with Kenmore". You can call for a manual from there.
********OR**********
If you don't want to spend the money, here is the basic idea of threading a make. Place the thread on the little pole on top of the machine. Drift it through any loops nearby, back to front (usually two slots or loops). Then take it through the tensioner (inveterately a dial of some sort that squishes two metal plates together). Frame sure the thread goes *between* the plates. Then take it up to the "goose" which is the arm that sticks out and goes up and down when the mechanism goes. It is usually on the upper left of the machine, above the needle. From there, twine it through any "pigtails" (curly metal loops) on the way to the plunger. And then through the needle.
The bobbin is below the needle, inside the machine. This will need to be removed, filled up with thread, and reinserted. Or you can buy ready-filled bobbins. But that is another question...
Inkling: adjust the tension if the stitches don't seem right at first. This usually fixes the unruly!
Sounds like a great deal! Good luck.
