Coverstitch on the Pfaff Serger

[@frankvaine7778]

HUGE THANK YOU ! I have owned this Pfaff 4852 since April of 2004, and it has Frustrated me all this time. As a matter of fact, I bought a simple Brother overlock because I got too frustrated trying to thread the machine, which sat under its plastic hood for years. Watching you simplified the whole process, and has given me confidence to tackle the pile of knit fabrics I bought thinking how "easy" it would be to sew. Now I have the Coverlock machine I always wanted.

Hi has it been working for you? I just found this machine on Marketplace! Debating if it's worth it...

[@ShareeseMGrace]

@@SH-kp3ux I just got one and I love it. Make sure it has the power plate shown in this video if you want to do coverstitch

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL! I purchased a Pfaff Cover Style off Craigslist but it never came with a manual. I almost gave up on trying to get it to work as I have never used one before and couldn't find any help online for the life of me. My machine is pretty much identical. This video solved all my problems! Thanks again :)

[@koalasez1200]

Try googling for the manual. The Pfaff site has a section for manuals you can access for free :)

[@sueellenblubaugh934]

there is a free manual for the 4870 that I also bought used although they are a little different I'm sure its better than not having one at all.

[@MultiSandra47]

I have that one and the manual I can make u copies

[@terrimcgovern5006]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have a Pfaff Coverlock 4872 and it's very similar to the one you're using in the video.

Me encantaría que estuvieras en español también por favor 🙏

[@lizreynolds1275]

Great tutorial. I have a Pfaff 4874 and it is for the most part brand new. This was really helpful. Thank you

[@charisem7173]

Thank you! Would you happen to have a video on rolled hems for this model?

[@fukumoristar7176]

[@kirstinlutz7437]

Thanks a lot for this helpful video

[@myhouse108]

I love the clarity of your video! Do you have a video or any advice on threading the 4872? I need help!

[@augustastammerjohan9391]

Hi. Could you show more threating of the Pfaff 4852. It’s were essay to understand you. You show it perfectly

[@mariecraig239]

Could you do a video on the Serger part of this machine?

[@anikahammer7859]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@VivianMorrisInADream]

Thank you!!!

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Is there a video on treading for program 7? Or just 4 threads? I might have to make one myself when I ever figure it out? It sews one inch then the threads come out of the loopers🥴

[@machinegunkristin]

just bought the 4872 and the left needle keeps either unthreading or breaking ugh

[@irisrico6900]

Acabo de comprar una y me parece que es overlok y también xollaretera

[@mariecraig239]

I own a Pfaff 4874, is there anyone that owns this machine that could do some tutorials on it?

[@learntocrochet1]

My serger is a Pfaff 4862 and it is a four thread serger. I can see plainly that yours is also a 4862, and yet it is a five thread serger. How can this be?

[@Arctic_Falcon]

Hers is a 4852, not 62, which was below the 4862. I also have the 4862, I believe the difference between the 4852 and the 4862/72 (other than mount of threads) is ours has auto tension and the 4852 does not, as you can see in this video.

[@learntocrochet1]

@@Arctic_Falcon Thank you! Now I understand that I saw the number incorrectly.

[@khinekhine613]

Duncan Osgood thank you for your explanation. I would like to buy 4862 from a thrift shop and do you think that is good machine, durable and less headache,etc.

[@lindarivera10]

Hi! I would like to know the price of the machine?

[@Arctic_Falcon]

It's been long discontinued. The line this machine from was made during the late 1990s/early-mid 2000s. When it was new, it was probably about $1000-1200. This particular model is rare to find on eBay, but the higher-end (and better) versions with auto-tension (4862 & 4872) sell for about $200-300, depending on condition and accessories included.

[@thornyback]

This machine is DRIVING ME INSANE. I'm trying to use the first stitch and it simply is not connecting. Beyond frustrated. Also: is there really no program selecter on this machine? Is it all the same program but different outcomes just based on how you thread it?

[@ShareeseMGrace]

Do you have the manual?

[@thornyback]

@@ShareeseMGrace Yes, I've followed the manual religiously and watched this video copying the steps. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly and feel like I need to take it in to the repair place to get the guy to show me.

[@ShareeseMGrace]

@@thornyback I just got this machine on Wednesday too. It’s my first attempt at this type of machine. I got program 2 to work by watching this video and then I got program 7 to work following the manual. But not before breaking a couple needles. Do you have the power plate covering the loopers?

[@chirleidasilvavieira804]

Necessito de ayuda es que no entendí nada de que hablas 😀
