Ilove my baby lock.
|
I have the basic ones. one is a kenmore and one is a singer. very old by the way but still going strong. my first one didn't have the freearm on it so i got a free arm later. so my suggestion is maybe one with the freearm would be something to concider. If one ever bites the dirt i would love to get a self threader. that would be nice. either way i love my sergers. just did 2 quillows the other day they make sewing the edges so fast since it sews and cuts at the same time so fast, then it was all nicely even i just ran another stitch around it with the regular sewing machine on the outside .. . then i just had to birth it. now if i could get the decorating done so fast LOL

I am looking at buying a serger machine. I have never had one. My question is which one do you recommend? I am excited to get one now that I have been looking at them.
Lasst week I used the ruffler foot to make a dust ruffle, and then I made a quilt/embroidered coverlet for king size bed, and after I did the quarter inch seams on regular sewing machine, I also serged ALL the seams (this will be washed weekly). And today I even serged all the seams on a polar fleece doggie blanket that I embroidered. I know you don't have to do fleece, but since this will be washed weekly I wanted to make doubly sure all the seams will stay. I absolutely LOVE my serger. Karen |

I've tried this and for some reason, it just doesn't work for me! :( I tie the ends in a square knot, but the thread breaks before it finishes its journey. I sure would like to know what I'm doing wrong.

I love my Baby Lock with the burst of air self threading :) I had an Elna that I lost in a house fire and it frustrated me no end when I had to rethread it. However, with my Baby Lock no problem whatsoever!! Check it out and you'll be sold.

I recently got the Brother 1034D for a basic model. So far it works fine and I have had no problems with it.

Peckish, don't give up. Give those knots a little tug to be sure they are really tight. And cut off most of the loose thread from the knots. Leave about a half inch. Hope that works better.

I have had a My Lock 34 D for about 10 years. I did upgrade to a Viking 910 several years ago. I loved both of them and once I understood how to thread, no problems. I really need to say, it is what works for you and how you understand and plan on using your machine. Same as a sewing machine.

I have the same one and no problems even after it fell off the table(tv tray) onto its head . The part that telescopes broke off , thats it. I was so surprised I thought it was dead for sure.
