What is it with men??? I got a serger and just left it out looking "pretty" for at least 6 months. I took it to my little sewing group where a woman was sure she could get it threaded and I came home with out it being threaded. My BF asked why I hadn't been using it and I said that it was hard to thread. Within 3 minutes, he had it threaded and was trying it out! That stupid thing (the serger) really intimidates me and I thought I would be using it all the time. One thing I know, I will never un-thread it!
