I like usig mine to add the borders to quilts. It finishes the edges so neatly. I have a $250 Brother. It is easy to thread. This is my 4th serger, and by far the easiest to use.

I haven't read all the posts but I have a serger and it's the pits to thread. I'm thinking I should give it away and buy a Babylock. I don't use it much now but IF I KNEW HOW TO THREAD IT I know I'd use it more. Misplaced book. agh!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE my Babylock Imagine-----had 2 sergers previous to this and wanted to throw them out the window-they took SO LONG to thread and it was so frustrating that I wouldn't even use them. Now I can thread and serge in a jiffy!

I use my Babylock for garment construction and love it. It has color coordinated path for threading and has never had a problem in 25 years.

I've been sewing for over 50 years and several years ago decided I really needed a serger. Bought one and used it for about 2 weeks and hated it. I took it back and got a refund. Seems like I always need to adjust the seams in garments as well as quilts and the serger trims the seams automatically. I prefer to use the zig-zag on my regular machine to finish the seams when necessary.
