Could d be damaged needle plate, or timing, or be sure the top thread is threaded correctly, last it could be timing of lower looper or height of needle bar. For which you will need a qualified tech
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: https://doitbetteryourself.club/how-to-overcast-stitch/
Apparently, the Singer 5511 Scholastic isn't a true serger.
You're unlikely to find one unless you have a very friendly serger repair person. Most folks can't service their own sergers; the parts are often difficult to come by and the timing settings are pretty finicky.
Sergers are very interesting and complex machines, and you don't have to have something out of whack very much to upset the operation. Check your treading again - make sure it all the treads match the diagrams. Check your needle(s) for burrs at the tip. If in doubt, replace them. Check the needle plate and foot for burrs. Anytime a needle comes in contact with anything but fabric, there's a fair chance something will get a burr. When that happens, the thread doesn't feed properly.
Many problems can cause a serger to skip. Start with the correct new needles and good quality thread. Skips can be tension a clearance or timing issue or the amount of thread pulled out by the thread guides. This is not something most consumers can repair. Even with the service manuals they can be difficult. I have spent thousands of hours working on sergers.and skipping at high speed can be difficult to solve. Some brands are more user friendly to service. This like will show some of the common settings and tools needed for a serger service.
in response to all serger, no, after my babylock serger is cleaned and serviced it runs quietly. as for the brother, it's possible thats normal, try contacting a repair shop in your area and tell them about the serger and see what they say. it's possible that the serger may need some type of adjustment or a part may have broken .
There are two holes running vertically inside the needle arm.........the needles are held firm by very small screws or hex allen keys.........they may have worked loose over time, if they have fallen out and been lost, it is a call to your local Pfaff dealer for advice......be sure to quote model number.
Your User manual may have a diagram to assist.
Have you ever changed the needles since buying this machine ??
Needles ought to be changed every 6 - 8 hrs of sewing, and more often with heavy or abrasive fabric.
