Me, too. This is an amazing machine with a beautiful straight stitch - it's quieter than any other machine in the "herd." (includes a 66, 15's, a 27 treadle, a 128 treadle, a 28 hand-crank, a 316G treadle, a 221, a 301, a couple of 401's, 403's, 501, 503, 750 and a few Kenmores from the 60's and 70's, a modern Singer and a modern Brother)
The serger is the noisiest thing in the world, but I can put up with the noise for something that's so useful.
