My Brother Serger intimidated me so much that I told my DIL to take it and use it. She threaded it up and went to sewing. Made several outfits for my grandchildren!! Then she brought it back home because she got a new machine and said she didn't have room for it. Well, it sat and I just looked at it...too scared to use it. I sold it!!! Now this is someone who has multiple machines including embroidery machines. Of course, I was afraid to use my embroidery machine until she came over and said "let's get it set up". Within an hour, she was embroidering!!!
