I have a singer serger and need to get needles

You can get the manual for free from Singer by starting here: https://www.singer.com/support . Type in the beginning digits/characters of the model number. The current link to the manual is https://www.singer.com/sites/default/files/product_manual/44720e3e888267ef68e078990ec0c5156dfb0fc8_0.pdf .

You'll need to buy the rest of the items. The needles are probably the easiest since those are consumables. You need 2 Singer #2022 needles. The originals were 90/14 needles; 80/11 needles are also available. If you can't find the 2022 needles, get the Singer 2020. The 2020 needles are the common needle for home sewing machines; you'll find them in any sewing machine needle sale display. Here's a link for the 2022 90/14 needles: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/serger-needles-singer-2022.aspx . I found the replacement spreader here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/looper-spreader-singer-550547.aspx . Other parts for the 14SH764 are here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-14sh764-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?sort.ss_cat_sort=desc&index=1 . The flat blade screwdriver and the tweezers can be replaced with any that are the same size. Most craft stores with sewing machine supplies will probably have the right size tweezers and the screwdriver. (The screwdriver may be cheaper at a hardware store.)

I hope this helps.

Hello, Ellen -

If you do not already own the Singer Overcast Foot for your Singer 5511 Scholastic machine, you will need that. Plus, you will need serger needles.

If you reside in the USA, you can find the Overcast Foot and serger needles here:
SingerOnline.com

I was hoping to find a video tutorial online for you, but no luck. I did find written instructions with photos regarding using a sewing machine overcast stitch as a serger. This is the link:

Apparently, the Singer 5511 Scholastic isn't a true serger.

Best wishes.

try regular singer serger needles

Serger needles are different from regular sewing machine needles, but like sewing machine needles, they are generic. That means that if you buy a serger needle, it should fit most sergers from any manufacturer.

My favorite manufacturer is Organ; they've been in business for a long time and manufacture for commercial and home machines and sergers and they're quite inexpensive.

The number you have provided is the system number of the needle the serger uses. The model usually starts with 14U_________

SKIPPED STITCHES ON A SERGER

1. Is the needle bent or worn--replace

2. Is the needle inserted correctly into the needle holder--check needle

3. Is the Serger threaded correctly--rethread

4. Is the presser foot pressure right for the fabric--adjust

Hi, ALthough it is called a "Tiny Serger", it will still take regular singer serger needles.
