I had a White Speedylock and loved it. Now I just bought a basic Viking H Class 200S where the entire front opens up for easy threading. So far very happy with it. I use it for more than clothes, I do pillowcases and everything. I've even seen quilts made with a serger. Just finished some fine scarves (got the fabric for free) with a fine edge and they came out great. Once you get used to using a serger, it really is very versatile.
