I agree with Quiltinggolpher, but unfortunately not everyone has that sort of budget. After having two sergers over the years that I barely used, I finally broke down and got a Babylock Evolution. I love it. It's so easy to thread and so capable that I do actually use it. But the monthly payments (I bought it on a Zero-Interest payment plan that my dealer offers - not through Babylock, but financed through GE Capital) are equal to what you paid outright, so obviously a HUGE difference in cost.
