    Erika-
    I would like to purchase a manual for the Sergemaster 4300. I have inherited a used one, without a manual, and am completely lost. I can’t even figure out how thread it! I sent you an email. Please look out for it (Sergemaster 4300 is the subject) and let me know how I should proceed. Thank you!

    I also have the same machine. I've had mine for 18 years and I still use it. I am looking for new blades for my machine and can't find them. Do you have any ideas?

    Hi Erika,

    I just bought a sergemaster 4300 for my wife but the previous owners didn't have the user manual. I would really like to get a copy if you still have them. Please let me know. I will email you at the address you provided in your web site. Thx Jeff.

    Take your blades off your machine and take them to your local sewing machine shop.They should be able to match them up and get you new ones.
    Hope that helps.

    Yes it did have an upper looper break. I took it to a Sewing Machine store to have it repaired. I now have to get new cutting knife for it.
    I strongly suggest taking your whole machine with you to get it repaired.
    hope that helped.

    Hello

    If you were to buy this same machine today (used), how much would you pay for it? I ask because I know someone who selling one and I want to know if the price is fair.

    Like any used sewing machine(serger)if its in good condition and works well -maybe 50.00-60.00.
    I've seen them go for as little as 20.00 to 60.00.
    It depends on how well it works and how well its taken care of.

    Hi I just bought a Sergemaster 4300 at a yard sale for $3.00. It works great, but there is no manual. I have always wanted a serger but don't know how to use one so I figured I can't go wrong with a $3.00 practice machine. Do you still have a copy of the manual?

  17. Hi. I am interested in finding out more about the monthly meetings of the indianapolis button club and being able to start attending. Would someone let me know what steps to take to get started?May 10, 2020 at 6:18 PM

    Had been wanting to start with a used serger to be sure I would like one. Oh dear---I paid way too much for a used Sergemaster 4300! :( And---it didn't work and I spent more money to have it repaired. Oh well---it is fixed now, I have the manual (thanks to you) and it does seem to work well. I think I will be happy with it. I wondered since you've had yours for so long, would you mind advising as to which needles you prefer. I would like to stock up. I plan to use if for simple straight stitching; quilts, cottons, jeans, maybe experiment with some garment construction. Also, it did not come with spool supporters, thread caps, thread nets nor a rolled hem throat plate---is it beneficial to have these items on hand. Thank you so much. Appreciate your help.

    I just won a storage unit auction and found this exact machine in it. Hard to find anything online. How much should I sell it for?
