RipStitcher Intermediate Member since 5/28/12 Posts: 1404	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/27/12 7:21 PM I'm still trying to stay away from getting involved in embroidery... for just a little while longer. lol So in the meantime, I'm thinkin' I might just have to go pick up a serger. What do you own? Better question yet, which one would you buy if you could get what you want today? Why? ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress

I can change thread on it in around 5 minutes. I had the opportunity to test it out at a sewing expo. I have not used any other serger to know how it compares.

It worked ok but was a total pain to thread and clean, so I gave it away to my sister. She was thrilled...works with more knits than I do, I suspect. ------ Measure twice, cut once.

And that may be the case, but the demo I had did not impress me... because of that I made the decission to get a serger that had to be threaded the old fashion way. I have never looked back. Give yourself the option of looking at several brands. If I could make a short list based on the popularity of machines recommended at PR then defintately look at Juki because they are solidly made, powerful, quiet and make beautiful stitches and easy to thread. Babylock because of jet air threading, Brother for affordability and Janome or Elna because they are proven workhorses. Think about whether you want a 4 or 5 thread machine. And if you want built in coverhem or a separate coverhem machine like the Janome 1000cpx. ------ Janome MC6600 Bernina 240 Juki MO735 Singer 201-2 Singer 221-1 Singer 15-91
