I agree with Janet, I love my new Evelution and I have used sergers for many years. I still have my old White that is over 20 years old and still purrs like a kitten. Dosen't do even a 10th of what the new one does. I wanted the cover stitch and a nice looking blanket stitch and to be able to sew piping etc with my serger. I have pieced whole quilt tops with the old one and I am sure I will with the new one also. They are very useful once you learn what they can do. I serge all my fabs with a 3 thread out of the cheepest thread and do not cut any off and loosen the tenn so threads do not tabgle in the wash for I pre wash everything unless it is flannel for a rag quilt of fab I will be making for chenille.
Find a good local dealer that will give you classes on whatever you get but give a good look at the Baby Lock sergers, but Viking/Husquvarna for sewing machine. Smile
