My serger is a Singer that I bought several years ago and it never did sew right. A video came with it and I've never had trouble with any kind of sewing machine before this. I adjusted, rethreaded, adjusted, rethreaded, nothing worked right. It's still in my possession but I never try to sew with it anymore. I gave up. I'm thinking about buying a Janome. I'd really like to know what model Janome you all have as Hancock's runs one on sale every now and then and I've been looking at that.
