I have always wanted a serger so I could explore the different things it can do that a sewing machine can't for sewing clothes and accessories. I just bought a Brother 1034D at Walmart online for $199. The shipping to my home was $0.97. It comes with 2 good DVD's and tweezers, different feet, etc. It has good reviews for such an inexpensive machine. It's easy to thread, has differential feed, you don't have to change the plate to do a rolled hem, and it has a free arm. I'm excited to explore the possibilities.
