This may be the wrong section for my question, but maybe the forum guards will post it where it belongs.....

My sister has given me a Simplicity Serger that I don't know anything (at all) about. Will some of you ladies (men too) enlighten me on any particulars that I need to know about this machine. She says it has four cones of thread with it, and I am familiar with the 3-thread sergers only. I have used one quite a bit, and feel that I could learn to use this one, but I would like to know anything available on Simplicity sewing machines/sergers. I thought that was a pattern company, so the name is totally unfamiliar to me.

Thanks.....

Do you have a model #?

I have 2 sergers my oldest and first serger is a Simplicity
that my husband bought for me in Dec 2002 or 2003.

I have a four thread serger I bought back in 1980 or 81 (Huskylock). The "fourth" thread works like a locking stitch but more often than not, I don't use it. I will if I'm seaming something and not just overcasting. I used it a lot when I was making clothing - not so much now that most of my sewing is quilting.
