Santa brought me a White when I was in the 2nd grade and I used it for years on all of my 4-H garment making stuff. Last year my mom and I went half and half on a new Bernina. The White was giving us fits with the lower looper thread breaking.
I love my serger. I use it to make pj pants, curtains, pillowcases. The possibilities are endless. I don't do much apparel sewing anymore but am still happy I have the serger.
