I have 3, a brother 929D, Jancome compulock and pfaff 4874.
I like the brother because of the free arm capability, handy for doing cuffs and the bottoms of pant legs. It's a royal pain to thread, but once threaded it stays that way.
I have probs keeping the Janome threaded, but that may be my fault, not sure yet. I have the pfaff set up for cover stitch and love it! Wouldn't trade my sergers for anything!

I could not live without my Babylock Imagine Wave. I upgraded to it 4 years ago from a Babylock Protege that I bought in the mid 90's. So easy to use. I also have the separete coverstitch machine. IMO Babylocks are tops! LOL, as soon as I bought my Imagine, DD#2 confiscated the Protege!

I love my serger, I bought a Kenmore (Janome make theirs) and I love it! Nothing gives that crisp finished edge like a serger! I haven't tried the serger quilts, but there's a book out there about serger quilts and the pictures look wonderful....so there are many uses for a serger!
Kind Regards,

EASY THREADING TIP: once it is threaded the first time, when you want to change colors, just cut the thread at the top. Tie the new thread to the old, run until the knot reaches the needles. Cut off the knot, thread the needles and then run a little more until the tail is all the new color. You're done!!

Next to my sewing machine my serge is my best friend. :-D

I have a Baby Lock Imagine and I love it for the finished edging it gives. Am currently making a quilt-as-you-sew throw on it for myself. They're rather fun to make - this is my third one.

And for clothing, it does make a nice finish inside whatever you're sewing - raw edges don't look as nice. Made some things for my two and half year old grandson and the insides of the shortalls and overalls do look more professional.

I had a White serger, and the thread quard on the lower looper broke. I took it back toJoAnn's but they no longer handle that brand. I took it to sewing machine repaird shop. They wanted $100.00, plus whatever the parts and labor to fix it. It was there 2 months and the parts were still on back order.
Finally I traded it in as junk and bought a Janome. Which has been a good machine and I use it alot. I was back into the shop awhile back and they said the parts for the White were still on back order. :thumbdown:
I would never get another White machine

Hi, I have a pfaff 794 and I have had it for over 22 years. I had to take it in a month ago for serviceing and bought another pfaff coverlock. I couldn't be without my serger for that length of time and now I have 2 so I have lighter thread in one and darker thread in the other. I am in heaven!!!!

I have a Janome and I love it. It makes you seams look like they are done by a professional and its great for rolled hems also. I wouldn't be with out it.
