I had a Phaff but had such a hard time threading it I never used it. I sold it and bought a babylock evolution. I love it. Wouldn't have anything else. I don't mind changing thread or stitches. It even has auto tension.

raising my hands (both as I double love my serger) and lowering part way down, as the threading on my Brother Brand .... is fairly simple. Older but a good one none the less.

It has been said but I'll reiterate - GET A BABYLOCK! The air feed system for threading the loopers makes it so easy to use. Don't need to worry about rethreading - you can thread in any sequence so if/when you run out of thread or it breaks you just rethread and you are ready to go.
I don't work for them, but could definitely sell their sergers, Shirley in SC |

They are nice but on SS and retired NOT affordable in any way for many of us. Had a chance at a used one and it was $700. Way more than I can afford.

I hope your Super Hero can help you. I don't have a serger, but it looks complicated.

I have a pfaff shelf sitter:) My #3DD talked me into getting one long ago..I used it alot for rolled edges on veiles, even quilts.etc. My#2 DD borrowed it to make a wedding dress etc. brought it back with missing parts, etc. I think once in awhile I should get it down and see if I could get it working again. Threaded it by the method lipswing uses..writing down the tension settings, before moving them.. new ones I have not even looked at. wishing gets to be a dead end so I try not to burden myself with longings not to be fullfilled..:) Happy sewing!

I ordered a serger from Brother 2 weeks ago. The box sat in my living room and I finally decided to return it to Amazon.

I could not LIVE without my serger. I have had one since 1991 and am lost without it. Babylock really does have amazing threading with the airlock thing, so don't give up. I love mine, the Imagine.
