hello, i have had a serger since 1988 and don't know how the heck i did any sewing before I had it as I used to make all my kids clothes.....it was a pfaff. then it died,,,,,,so I called All
Brands, they are the company I always order from and asked if she was to buy a serger whichone would she buy. i wanted one that did a great and beautiful rolled hem. I had looked at Bernina, I have 3 sewing machines by them, and she told me that the Juki is the best in her eyes. so I did get one and I love it.....real easy to use....once you have it threaded it is a piece of cake to use.....threading isn't that hard either. I found that I can't see why anyone would want one with more than 4 threads. any more is a waste of money......good luck. kaye In Montana
