Leaha, Thanks for the advice. Is your serger a computerized one that has the automatic threading? I'm not sure how much I will use it, but would like to have one that I can thread and maybe I would use it. I use to sew alot when I could see better. Now I am trying the embroidery thing and messing with the quilts. Years ago, I made my mom and dad and my husbands mom and dad, a charm square quilt for their anniversaries. Those were my first. At the time, all I knew was that I was sewing the squares together in rows and made queen size quilts for them. They loved them. I wish I would have purchased better fabrics. My parents and in-laws are now all gone. I have the quilt that mom had and it needs some repairs.
