Project Runway Question
 
I know there must be some Project Runway fans on here. I have a question about one of the machines that the older lady, Andrea, was trying to thread on Thursday's show. It looked like a serger, but it was called something that started with a "b". Burrower, borer, ? Anybody catch that and know what the machine is for?

I'm a long time "Project Runway" watcher. I started watching in Season 1. It is the only t.v show that I really watch.
I heard the comment last night. They didn't give a very good shoot of the machine. It sounded like some kind of serger.
Your question is worth sending to their website.

I LOVE Project Runway! I haven't gotten to see any of the new episodes this season yet. But I have them saved on my DVR. Maybe this weekend. . ..

Don't watch the show but there is a blindstitch machine. Babylock put one out years ago.

I get these things in my brain and can't let go until I get the answer. I fast forwarded the episode on the website and they're saying "marrow" and "marrowing". So, I looked that up and found my answer. It's a Merrow sewing machine. From the show, it seems their well known in the design world if their making verbs out of the name. I went to the Merrow website and each machine is designed for one or two specialty stitches and the lowest price is $2650.00.

I have watched almost all of the seasons..but this one I just can't get into. I will probably skip this season. The people seem so odd this time around.

Brother has the exclusive license for Project Runway machines. The only types of machines in the "Project Runway Line" are sewing machines and one serger.

I believe that the machines that are used on the show are industrial machines, not the machines for home use.

I love Project Runway, I have been watching since Season1 also. Why are the participants getting weirder and weirder do you suppose. Are they really more talented, or do they choose them to attract more attention (viewers). They guy who won last night really should be the winner this season, so far all his items have been gorgeous. Thanks for letting us know what a marrow is. I thought it was some type of serger.
