I had a Euro-Pro from HSN that I did NOT like. Sold it on e-Bay because I never used it. Now I have a Brother Serger that I do love. I do use it a lot, and it is easy to thread myself. It has 2 DVD's as well as a great manual with it. I recommend Brother products. It is a Brother Lock 1034D, and I got it online from Ken's Sewing in ALABAMA. I recommend his shop very highly for buying online. He is the Brother online distributorship, and he takes care of his buyers, and packaging for shipping is great. I've been to his store to pick up my first machine from him and am satisfied. He has almost 50,000 internet sales with 99.7% satisfaction. I am just a satisfied customer.
