Just a head's up with the serger you are borrowing. Most likely it will need to be threaded in a very specific order. So if you can get the manual with it, or instructions from the lender it will be a big help. I have an older, basic Viking 905 that I absolutely love. Purchased it (very) used for $200, maybe 10 years ago and haven't had any problems and it has a beautiful stitch. It needs to be threaded in a specific order.
