I just chose a Janome 204D! The dealer matched the price on ebay which saved me $100, guaranteed the warranty, and gave me a go-to source of help. I love it! I have been serging like crazy for days and am happy as can be. Everyone is so scared of threading, but it is very easy with this one...just follow the color codes. My other machines are Janome, and I am delighted with them, so figured I would get their serger too, and am really happy with my choice.
