OH BOY...What would I do without my serger! I was totally clueless when I first bought mine but as soon as I figured out how much fun it was I was serging everything in sight. Almost every sewing project can be done with your serger, with the exception of a few things like putting in a zipper, sewing on buttons and making buttonholes, etc.; and if some clever person comes up with an idea on how to do that I will be serging them too. The difference the serger is the edges can be cut and finished at the same time, compared to sewing a seam and then putting a zigzag stitch along the raw edge. The speed at which you can work is alot quicker also. I mainly bought mine because of I work with alot of spandex and the serger is ideal for that type of fabric. It is worth every penny I spent and I definately could not do without it. I currently own a Kenmore model that is about 15 years old, other than replacing a few cutting blades Ive never had to have it serviced, It runs as beautifully as the day I bought it. If I had to purchase a new one though I might consider something where the parts are more ready available. Hope this review helps. |
