Brother AIR1800 Serger with Air Threading Technology and Easy One-Touch Threading

I'm so pleased on how nice this brother serger runs. So easy to set up and get started: Shipping was quick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll have to admit; I was a bit intimidated by this machine being a novice sewer. I wasn't even sure how a Serger works. That said, I went on the website and asked for video instructions that helped me immensely. I also asked a friend who has been a professional sewer for decades for some guidance. She found it easy to thread and similar to her machine. She was impressed by with just a press of a button, a blast of air sends the thread through the loopers. She was amazed at how it self-threads as well. My vision isn't that great, so this is a game-changer for me. This machine can cut and finish seams and loops the threads for a professional seam. It is great for all types of fabrics. You can actually do up to 1300 stitches per minute which is awesome. I love the cutting knife that trims the edges. I am so excited to get started with my first project and learn more about this machine.

I have a lot of reading and learning to do !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Changing thread colors has never been easier with the one touch looper threading air technology. No more squinting one eye to try to get the thread through the needle. It's as easy as pressing a button with this machine. The burst of air accurately threaded my needle every time. The Brother Air1800 creates professional quality seams and is extremely easy to use...even for a beginner. I'm currently using it on a quilt and it has already saved me time when compared to using a traditional sewing machine. Although I haven't used it at full speed yet, it can sew up to 1400 stiches in a minute! I'm looking forward to testing out the Brother Air1800 Air Serger on a variety of projects in the future. I appreciate that on Brother's website, there are several fun idea including an infinity scarf and pencil case!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great for beginners. Comes assembled and already pre threaded. For me since I am new to this it is still a bit confusing for me especially trying to put thread back into the automatic thread feeder but I am getting the hang of it. It threads really fast. Comes with very clear instructions. A little advice is slowly press the foot peddle do not push on it to hard until you get the hang of it because it really takes off and if your not holding the material correctly the thread will go in at a slant. There are videos you can watch online as well with others showing you how to work and use it which has been a big help for me because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I started but it really is a great machine. It is easy to store in a closet or you could keep out on a desk. Has some weight to it so it is not the lightest machine but also not heavy to where someone would struggle to lift. Highly recommend. Machine is very well made. Great quality machine great quality pieces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's great! Even for a beginner like me, I was able to set it up and watch videos on how to use it. It's definitely much larger of a machine than I expected, and not the traditional one I'm used to, but it works and is very fast/powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this serger as I've wanted one for so long! It is surprisingly easy to thread (the thing I was most worried about) and it works so smoothly. It took a little bit of play time to figure out the tension, but once I got that, all systems were go and I can serge blankets in no time! Highly recommended!

Fantastic price for air threading technology! I have been using this serger for a couple of months (as someone who barely used a very old 1980's serger before) and my only complaint is the lack of adequate user documentation, especially for those new to serging - for example, how to remove or replace the needles, and how to remove the threads that come left on the machine when shipped. Being a product manufactured for the last couple of years, one would think there would be more videos/documentation on how to use and maintain the product, and for troubleshooting - which I have thankfully thus far not had need of! There is a tool that comes with the machine to remove/replace needles but you would never know it! It was pure trial and error and a fear of voiding my warranty by even trying to figure things out which are undocumented and make using the machine frustrating at times. The machine itself works like a charm and I am very happy with the price for air threading technology - which I swore I would have after my last serger from the 80's…. I just hope it holds up well and gives me many years of flawless use! Would have been 5 stars but for poor documentation. Never assume a user has prior experience.

Serger came not threaded. And handwheel was locked. I returned it

The left needle thread breaks. There is so much resistance. I've adjusted the tension wheel both ways and the resistance is still the same. The right needle thread appears to be fine. I just received this serger a week ago and cannot use it because of this issue.
