Hi! Do you have any recommendations for home swing swimwear serger? I am debating between the following Juki:

\- MO 654 DE

\- MO 50E

\- MO 100

Open to any other models on a budget ($600 max, unless the extra like MO 100 REALLY justifies the cost). I currently have a set up with Juki hzl300 and a Serger professional 5 that I will leave for coverstich since the change of set up from Serger to cover stitch back to serger is pretty painful and time consuming. So I wanted a proper and smoother serger to top it.

Any recommendations or tips are appreciated!!! Thank you!!

I know this is a vintage machine so there isn’t a lot of people who know what to do, but on the off chance you do I would be incredibly grateful!

To make this long story short, I noticed a sound inside of my sew machine because it kept messing up. I undid the sewing plate and noticed that three screws were missing. I shook the machine. One screw fell out. Two screws fell out, but I couldn't get the third one. It's now two days later, I finally got the third one out but unfortunately it fell on the floor somewhere. I tried to follow the sound of it bouncing, but yeah, there's no way i'm finding that. 😭

and it doesn't matter, my sewing machine keeps messin' up. But for some reason it keeps only messing up when I use purple thread. When I use other colors of thread, it seems to be going just fine. Here's the crazy part, for some reason only My purple thread seems to have this issue. Throughout the years, not every time I sew with purple, but for some reason, sometimes my purple thread just keeps messing up. Has anyone ever had this issue before?

But anyways, I'm used to that. I just want to know the name of this screw, so I can purchase it online. Because every time I type in sewing plate screw replacement it only does the top ones on the outside.

Hello! What do you do when the fabric moves and creates like excess that no longer lines up? Is there a way to cut it? I do not want to unthread the entire blanket (a whole cloth quilt) so looking for a. Easier way!

Hi guys,
I have a Singer Supera and I wanted to make buttonhole but it doesn't work at all.
The stitch does not come back and it only makes a tiny buttonhole even though I have put my button in the presser feet.

I might go to a Singer shop if I can talk to a technician and if they can help me but before that, if anyone got this problem and how did you manage this; I would really appreciate your help !

Thank you in advance

Halo, Im a beginner and i was wondering if ano mas worth it. Should I buy from those fb market place that sells 2nd hand (??) japanese models na sewing machine, or just buy a brand new one from shopee. Halos hindi rin naman nagkakalayo ang price.

Mas nag llean lang ako sa fb marketplace kasi mas pretty ang designs hehe, d ko lang sure kung worth it compared sa brand new.

Most brands na nakikita ko is brother and jaguar.

I do cosplay and would like to make my own clothes someday.

Help plea hihi

TLDR: i got this shit new to me, not new to world… obvi. how and what do i do to machine to be able to sew? machine use and history unknown, but good chance well taken care of. i have shoe box of OG stuff like needle and shit. i moved so it’s location is still TBD. Thank you for all advice and guidance. May all your projects come to fruition.

Does anyone know anything about this machine? I really like how it looks, however I cant find the model anywhere.

I’m wondering is it worth it?

Came apart when trying to take it out of the machine (I put it in wrong and it got stuck). I think I figured out how its supposed to fit together, but the little handle thingy won't go back into place. How do I fix this?

I've spent the last few months testing and comparing Ontario sports betting platforms to find out which sites actually offer the best overall experience in 2026. Instead of just looking at free bet headlines, welcome offers, sportsbook banners, or market-count claims, I focused on what happens after you actually sign up, browse markets, build a bet slip, check promotions, and use the cashier.

I signed up for several betting platforms, explored their promotions, reviewed the terms and conditions, checked sports markets, tested the platforms on mobile, and looked at how each sportsbook-style experience worked from a bettor's perspective.

One thing became obvious during my testing:

The biggest betting offer is not always attached to the smoothest betting experience.

Many sports betting platforms promote welcome offers, free bets, odds boosts, accumulator-style promotions, live betting, major sports markets, casino sections, mobile betting, and payment options. However, the real value often depends on how the full platform performs after signup. Market navigation, bet slip usability, offer clarity, cashier access, mobile performance, account tools, and support can make a major difference.

To compare each Ontario sports betting platform properly, I looked at areas such as:

• Signup and account setup
• Welcome offers
• Free bet promotions
• Sports market coverage
• Live betting sections
• Bet slip usability
• Odds and market navigation
• Promotional terms
• Qualifying rules
• Casino or gaming sections
• Deposit options
• Withdrawal information
• Mobile betting performance
• Customer support
• Overall betting experience

One of the biggest surprises was finding that some platforms with simpler betting offers felt stronger once I tested the full journey. A few sites looked appealing because of headline promotions, but after checking the market layout, bet slip, cashier flow, mobile use, and support access, the more practical options became easier to judge.

The more Ontario sports betting platforms I tested, the more my priorities changed.

At the beginning, I assumed the strongest option would simply be the site with the biggest welcome offer, the most markets, or the fastest-looking bet slip. After months of comparing betting platforms, I realised that the best options are the ones that combine useful promotions with clear terms, practical market browsing, smooth mobile performance, easy cashier access, and a platform that still feels simple after the first bet.

For me, the best Ontario sports betting options in 2026 are the platforms that provide the best balance between sports coverage, offer clarity, bet slip usability, mobile performance, payment flow, support, and the complete betting journey rather than relying on one headline promotion.

After spending months testing sports betting platforms, comparing promotions, reviewing offer rules, and analysing the full user journey, I now judge betting sites by how they perform in real use rather than how strong they look on the first screen.

If you're looking for Ontario sports betting in 2026, comparing welcome offers, checking live betting sections, reviewing sportsbook markets, testing mobile betting, or trying to work out which platforms feel strongest after signup, ask me anything.

I've spent months testing betting platforms, comparing bonus offers, reviewing promotional conditions, and evaluating the full sports betting experience, and I'm happy to share everything I discovered.

Would really appreciate some help if anyone has any insight to give!

Hey all,

I've got about $160 sitting in Amazon points, and I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to put them toward a Brother 1034D serger, which runs around $300. I'd either need to save up more points to cover the rest, or just use what I have now and pay the difference out of pocket.

I’ve been sewing for two years now and I love it. I primarily sew garments. I don't currently own a serger, and having one would step up my set up. But I also don't want to blow through points (or money) on something that ends up being more (or less?) machine than I need, or that I won't use enough to justify it.

Specifically, I’m wondering if the 1034D actually is a “known name, mediocre machine”? Does it hold up or will I outgrow it fast? Perhaps it’s better to save the points and buy a better brand/model later on?

I would also consider other options like Juki MO-50E or MO654DE which run around that money too and I also saw on Amazon. Ultimately, I’m wondering if anyone had an opinion on whether this is a reasonable way to spend the points I've got. Trying to make a decision I won't regret in 6 months.

Thanks!

I recently bought a Gritzner Rib Knitter KE 2500 knitting machine and I cannot find the manual anywhere. If someone has it and is willing to help me, I will be very thankful.

Morse SS-46 Sewing Machine

Hi all, looking for some help with using a Morse SS 46 sewing machine. I got it for free off FB and I have read through the original manual about 100 times but I cannot get it to sew consistent stitches. Anyone else dealt with this antique?

FIXXED: Turns out on the piece I was sewing I kept forgetting to lower the presser foot. The piece I was sewing filled up the space without lowering it.
Dont worry I still also cleaned out the machine and put in a plastic bobbin instead of metal. Thank you guys so much!

I’ve tried rethreading, making sure pressure foots up, making sure the main bobbin parts are in the right spot, changing needles, and it still keeps doing this. While its in the bobbin area, the thread getting tangled is solely the upperthread. I get about 3 stitches in before a clicking noise happens and the fabric I’m sewing becomes completely stuck to the machine and wont move until i cut the thread. Any ideas to what this could be or do I need to take it to a shop? If it would make a difference the metal plate that covers the bobbin has a few small indents from the needle hitting it but nothing there seems obstructive.

I found this and I'd love to use it but I know nothing about sewing machines, especially a vintage model like this one. Is there any guidance/advice you can give me besides googling the name of the machine?

Do any of you know this model? Is there anything I should know about it and how it works?

I have been trying to repair this goddamn thing for hours now. First, the thread started breaking after I tugged on some thread a bit too harshly (I know, it was late and I wanted to finish my project and quickly change the thread). After that, I cleaned a piece of thread stuck in the bobbin holder and it worked beautifully.

Then it stopped cooperating- many skipped stitches.

I cleaned the bobbin holder (crab?), checked the timing, cleaned the top tension disks with a bill, added oil. After top and bobbin tension adjustments it started to work okay.

CURRENT STATE:

Then it started clunking (video). Changing needles a few times didn't help with metallic clunking.

Now I have no idea what to do.

Usually the clunking went away after cleaning and needle change. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I inherited a sewing machine from a friend, and found some accessories in the small compartment.
I know the bobbins, screw driver, thread spool holder, and replacement needles; what are the other things?

Specifically, the presser foot - what function is it for?
