Emma! I swear we are related!! 25 yrs ago i bought a serger, positive i would use it every day for the rest of my life. I took out the directions, started to read them, or at least i tried, put them back in the box, took the box back to the store, they said, sorry. No returns. For the next twenty three yrs i moved that heavy, sealed box everywhere we went. Two years ago a friend asked if i knew anyone who wanted to get rid of a serger. She knew a young mother, blah, blah, blah.... I said, pay the postage and it's yours. It has never been out of the box and it's at least 20 yrs old. So away it went.
Now, I'm thinking, hey, I could use a serger. Hum the theme song to the twilight zone quietly to yourself! I will take the free class at the dealer, and I will freakin learn to use this thing! I'm gonna be serging everything, watch out! Here i come, pedal to the floor and I'm serging some more! Woo hoo!
