Serger advice

I think Babylock makes one. I am sure the higher end ones of other manufactors also have them.
I purchased a newer Bernina in the last year. It is not self threading but it is a lot simpler to thread than my previous one. The biggest change is that the threading does not absolutely have to be done in a certain order. I usually just tie on the next thread and pull it through. Once in a while I am not able to do that. With this new machine I have a whole lot less stress.

I'd love to have a self-threading serger too. Have you Googled for reviews? I found these reviews of the Babylock Eclipse:

or http://tinyurl.com/nhxw7s
Also, there are usually lots of reviews at

Just click on "Sewing and Serger Reviews" on the left. You need to join in order to see older reviews. Joining is free and IMO worth it, as you get to see a lot more reviews.

I went to try out the Eclipse and bought an Imagine Wave. I had no intention of buying that day, but the sale price at a very reputable shop - Nancy's Notions of Beaver Dam Wi. was too good to pass up. I had looked online and found wonderful reports about all of the Baby Locks, but I need the threader part so I am thrilled. The ebay price is much higher than I paid with the warranty and classes included. I am so happy!! Thanks for helping me and enjoy your serger.
