This is why you should read the manual...

I just realized completely by accident after a year and 30 pajama pant cuffs that it has a free arm.

Oh my! Now you know, and hopefully,they'll be easier to use.

That's so silly and cute- I hope it makes it improves your life!

Mine actually doesn't have a free arm and I have no issue doing tiny little kid sleeves/ribbing, but, that might just be because I don't know any different.

The free arm online is so large I can barely get adult sleeves around it so I never generally use it.

It would come in handy for 30 pairs of pyjama pants though!

I'll report back if it actually helps. My last serger didn't have one and it wan't a big deal, but there were times I wished for a free arm.

Oh damn! haha hope it helps now and going forward!

I thought all sewing machines had a free arm... I hope this makes your life easier!

My first Huskylock serger didn't have a free arm. This is my 1034D Brother serger. I have two flatbed sewing machines without freearms and three free arms, all dating between 1954 and 1985. I think modern machines have free arms, but old machines didn't necessarily. I sound like a bit of a hoarder, I think.
