Can you sew upholstery covers on a bernina 750qe

You probably can, however, if I had this nice Bernina, I wouldn't risk it. Instead, go find an old metal, mechanical sewing machine, like a Nelco, Singer, Kenmore. I have an old metal Nelco and a Pfaff 260 that I use to mend horse equipment.

Do you have experience with a Nelco Sierra 234F Serger? How is the quality of stitching, how easy is it to use and problem free is this machine? Are you still able to get parts for the machine?

As far as I am aware, Nelco hasn't been made for quite a few years--probably since sometime in the 1970's is my guess. I have an old Nelco sewing machine that is a tank of a machine and sews nearly anything I throw at it. But for finer work, I prefer my Bernina--probably because it has more stitch selections, sews a straighter stitch, and I know it better.

If you aren't able to have the machine demonstrated to you and you can test it to your satisfaction, I'd be reluctant (Actually, that goes for any used machine, not just Nelco!) The following may be helpful:

How to thread the Nelco A2?

To find a user's manual, search the internet for:
Manufacturer + Model + the word "Manual"

Search YouTube videos for threading tutorials:

With your Nelco, be sure that you install the needle properly. Frequently, Nelco machines take the needle with the flat side facing toward the throat of the machine--not toward the read like most other machines. The upper thread will thread through the needle's eye from the left toward the right. They also are a left needle position machine--meaning, the standard position of the needle when sewing straight stitch is at the left side of the presser foot, not center like most other machines.

My mother"ssewing machine willnot pick

I saw Nelco on this website http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Nelco_Sewing_Machines.htm

purchasing /obtaining a manual is always very helpful when working with a sewing machine.

However, simple stuff to check, is the needle in the right way, with the scarf (groove) to the back?

Is the needle new and the right type of needle for this machine? Sorry, I don't know a lot about Nelco however, most machines use 130/705H system needles, but there is always the exception, especially with something 40+ years old so it pays to check it out.

And lastly timing, the needle needs to be down at the lowest point as the rotary hook comes around to catch the thread. If this isn't happening, then it could be that the timing is out on the machine. It's never happened to me but it can happen. But I'd suggest you try changing needle, check threading path and bobbin firstly.

Good luck.
