Hello :) I just freecycled a Speedylock 1600 serger. Not exactly the greatest serger, but it was free. I am looking for some good resources (either on the web or in print) that can help me utilize the machine.

I can thread it and have fooled with the tensions, but that's about it.

The manual is small and I am still trying to find a VCR to view the tape that came with it. I only have a DVD.

Thanks in advance for all your help

There's a really good book for serging, its beginner to advanced. I got it after I'd had my machine for almost a year and I still am learning stuff in it. It's "THe Complete Serger Handbook' by Chris James.

I read that book cover to cover when I got my serger and I use it more than the machine manual for changing settings and such.
