I have one too. Have had no problems. Very easy to thread.

Most all of the major brands are great. If you are keeping your costs low then you may find yourself deciding not to go for all the bells and whistles. Remember that the sewing machine vendors also have used sergers from those who traded up ... and you can get a real good deal that way.

I have a Pfaff serger with coverstitch that I bought on sale years ago. I have to manually thread it but that isn't difficult to learn. [Though I did write up my own color coded directions as I know I think differently than any manufacturer.] It is a real workhorse and I love it. Even if I inherited a LOT of $$ I don't think I'd get a new serger. I'd go to a quilt retreat instead.

I would look for a used one, craigslist etc for almost give away prices.The reason, many people think they want them and then when they get them home they decide they are to complicated. They not. Buy a used one or use someone's else til you decide you want to buy new. Get a feel for it. I love love love my sergers. I can't imagine not having one in my sewing studio. I use it a lot for serging around flannel for baby blankets. Mending/altering clothes. I use it for many things. I hope you get one and use it and love it. My HO.

I posted yesterday but it has gone.

I do have a serger in a box unopened and I can't remember the make. My question to you is how much would you use it. Look how desperate to have one I was.
