I had a Huskylock years ago and had lots of trouble with the tension. I was very frustrated with it. Looked at several brands and bought the Babylock Imagine probably 14 yrs ago and feel like I had dies and gone to serger Heaven. I love it! No messing with tensions and it is used alot. I do hemming for people and it is great to finish the edges of the pants before I turn them up; use it with sewing anything with a straight seam; go around the edges of quilts before binding. Try them out and see what you like. Sometimes a sale is not the right answer. Good luck with whatever you decide and take lessons if you can-that always helps.
