Babylock Evolution IMHO is the way to go! I was never interested in sergers until I saw that one on PBS TV with Nancys Notions one day so I started checking into it. The retailer in our area wanted almost $4600 for it yet it is suppose to retail for about $4300. So I instead went to Padauch last April at the quilt show and bought the Evolution and the embellisher for about $2300, free shipping and all the feet for the serger and paid cash for it. I negotiated the price down near to what I wanted to pay for it. I guess what they say about CASH TALKS is true.
I have never regretted that decision to buy it. You can do alot with this machine besides ruffles. You can sew sippers on projects, piece quilts, sew and more.
