I have a babylock imagine and a babylock coverstich. Love them both! I've had them for years and made tons of swimsuits. I leave my serger up all the time but they're both so easy to set up. Coverstich is a tricky machine to use well, IMO. I still like it though. I thought I wanted industrial machine but I don't really like apparel sewing enough. They are easy to store for me as well.
