What do you think...useful, or not needed. Also, what would you recommend and why?
Thanks for your input.
Bought my White serger in the mid '80's. Not sure if the White serger is still available. It serges beautifully, so why buy a new one. Just be sure the threading is easy. There were models out there, that took a degree to learn how to use them.

I use it for hemming skirts & slacks, edges of fabric before washing. Many projects too numerous to mention. If you have an opportunity to buy one at a discount....Go for it....You'll never regret you decision. :thumbup:
