    Babylock has sergers that are very easy to thread - I have the Imagine and love it!

    I just bought a Brother special edition serger - it's the Project Runway model. local quilt shop had a sale so it was 15% off. Included extension table and extra feet. Also an instructional DVD which was extremely helpful for threading. I've only played with it a little bit, but seems like a nice machine. Runs smoothly and quietly. Have to do a project to really get a feel. Oh, LQS also includes free lessons, which I can really use.

    Not really sure what a serger is good for that a sewing machine can't do??

    What do you use your serger for? I have one and would
    love to use it other than every now and then, but I don't
    know what to use it for that I can't use a regular sewing
    machine to make.
