if it's been sitting that long, you might want to give it a drink of oil.
Sergers can be the greatest thing, if it is YOUR thing. I like sewing with all kinds of fabrics, and there's nothing better for those loosely woven things. Mine is I guess, old. Curious about the improvements that have been made to newer ones.
Do some of them really suck the thread in, like a vacuum cleaner to thread itself?
Yes QC, it really does that, there is also no tension disks or different plates for it to do a rolled hem or anything like that either.
It takes me about a min and a half to rethread the whole thing from scratch.
