They are advertised as "sew and serge" with a "professional" serge stitch and it it "quilts" too.
I am looking for a second machine to do some heavier duty canvas and sunbrella stitching for some projects for my fiance.
Does anyone have experience or know what these machines are all about, especially the difference between a student and teacher model?
I bought a $179 Singer at Wally World a few years back. The inner workings blew out in a couple months. I'd not buy one without some sort of warranty.
