I have the baby lock Evolve,this was my first serger.Just pieced my first quilt,no problems matching seams the slant 1/4 was very easy.When you piece you don't take any off with the cutter,you go close,maybe catching lose strings,that's it.I just changed over to a cover stitch to hem a pair off pants.Every time I use this serger I'm amazed.I have so much to learn on the serger,as I never used one, or been around someone who had one.
