I absolutely love my serger. I don't use it very often any more, since I'm doing more quilting than clothes sewing. It's practically an antique, bought it new in 1982 for $300. It's a Babylok, and a real workhorse. Through the years, I ran it like crazy until about 6 years ago, when I started quilting, it's only been serviced 3 times, never had any problems with it. If you plan on doing a lot of sewing clothes and such, I would recommend it.
