My hubby got me a Brother 4 spool serger through Wal-Mart and on-line and I have totally fallen in love with it. I also have the SE350 (older version and a Brother brand) of an embroidery sewing machine, and love it equally. I forsee being able to make lots of unique gifts by combining the use, such as monogramed towels, dishcloths, napkins, plus I have several great grands I sew for, and love the polished look for the seams. The serger and sewer were both under $200 each at the time of purchase, and I feel blessed to own them. I'd buy them all over again in a heartbeat. I'M IN LOVE!!!
