I am on my third serger. The first one was Janome, which was great but a pain to thread. I nearly wore it out though. The second was a Brother that I got for $200 from HSN or QVC or Costco. It worked great, but still a pain to thread. I month or so ago Babylock had a great promotion, so I bit the bullet, traded in my #2 serger, and got a new Babylock Imagine, which is self-threading and a new Ellissimo. I think I have died and gone to heaven. Projects are running through my head faster than I can even do them. I also bought the workbooks for both the Imagine and the Ellissimo, which explains in much more detail.
Can you tell I am a little bit happy?

Joann thanks for the feed back. I think I saw the one on one of the shopping channels. I was leery due to the fact I have a White 4400 embroidery machine I bought a few yrs back on a shopping channel that I am having awful time learning on because I have so many problems w/ the thread bunching all up so I vowed never to make a another purchase like that from the shopping channel as you don't have the beneifit of running back to a real person when you experience problems.
Glad you like yours.

If this is your first serger, you might do well to get it from a dealer or haved someone who can instruct you. I'll be happy to answer any questions. I work with Project Linus and make receiving blankets from flannel by serging the edges. Works great and very fast. You do not even need to cut the fabric, just iron a crease when you want it cut and the serger will cut and serge at the same time.
