I bought one of these 15 years ago, the machine was fine, but you could buy a comparable one anywhere, the serger piece, I bought it and never used it, since I got a real serger after that. The problem I had with that machine is that I had to replace the foot pedal about 4 times in about 10 years. Finally trashed the machine because it spent more time in the shop instead of being sewed with. Ask your local singer shop if they will sell you one for comparable price, at least you will have someone to go to when it breaks down. LOL
