Serger choice/advice serger review
kjk3 Member since 3/7/11 Posts: 8	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/17/12 10:33 PM I am thinking about buying a serger machine. My current choices are Babylock 450, White Speedlock 1600 or a White 2000. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I guess if I saw all 3 at the thrift store or something like that, right in front of me there, had to choose and I really got to thread up and sew on them (which I would always do before giving my money for something used and if I did not know if it even worked anymore or not) and they all cost the same used like that there, (lets say $49 or something) and they all seemed to work fine just as is, then if I was undecided, I would probably pick the Babylock 450, if I also liked it the best, for the same amount of money, just because when brand new I think it may have really cost several times what any of those other Whites did. But I think the most important thing is to just test sew on any of them, and make sure everything still works there. Or at least that is how I would feel about it.
