I have the Huskylock 936 and absolutely love it! I make a fleece pieced quilt with it and it turned out great.

If you are new to using a serger I would suggest buying one from a machine dealer for the support. I have lifetime support from my dealer. I can go to the store anytime for personal one on one lessons as well as a free monthly serger class with the dealer.

I've had to call them a couple of times and they have been able to help me right over the phone.

Just my opinion. But I do love my Husky.

If you can get a Juki please try it. I have a serger too, a cheap one but I saving for a Juki.

I have had a Kenmore serger since the early 80's. I love it.

Have fun with buying a serger

One of my friends uses her serger to finish the edge of the quilt before binding it and says she loves the look on the edge before she puts on the binding

I have a surger the only complaint is that it is hard to thread, make sure that the one you pick out is easy to thread. Then you will love it.

I serge the ends of my fabric together before I pre-wash. No ravelling and threads in the washer and dryer. I use it for finishing seams on garments. Used it last week to cut and finish my grandson's dress pants before hemming. It's nice to have. Mine is old (a Singer 4-thread) and I would love to have a 5 thread that would do the blanket stitch (that stitch you see on the edge of satin on the end of a blanket). Maybe I'll replace it one day for a more sophisticated machine. Buy one. They are really a nice tool to have in the sewing machine and have endless possibilities. All you need it time to do it all. Good luck. Gerry

I wish mine had a cover stitch

I have a Husky 936. I jumped right in making 5 satin medieval style angel dresses. Boy, did I have a bastism by fire with that. It has been a match made in sewing heaven ever since.

About the time I quit doing a lot of dress making , I bought a Bernina serger. I use it a lot just finishing things like making rolled hems for napkins, valances etc. It sometimes now is used more than the sewing machine. Knit tops it is great. If there is a possible way to use it, I do. Many quilt tops are serged as it is so much faster when doing a lot of straight stitching. For the charity quilt pattern I use, it makes it come together in no time. Mine is just one of the cheaper models from a few years back and it has been heaven having it. How I managed to sew little girls dresses and hubby shirts without one, I will never know. Whatever one you end up getting you will use it a lot . Mine is not a self threader so if you buy a cheaper one, do not be intimidated by it. Once threaded it is easy to change thread. :thumbup:
