Welcome to the quilting board. I live in Flagstaff, Az now. I too lived in the Phoenix area for 30 years and it just got too hot and busy for my husband and myself and the big factor for moving was to be closer to 3 beautiful granddaughters. Sorry, but I don't know anything about sergers. You will love, love,love this board-everyone is so helpful and kind. I go to Payson once in awhile and visit a nice quilt store there. Good luck on your new adventure of quilting.
