I don't know about the Husqvarna sergers, but I love my BabyLock Imagine. Don't be afraid to experiment. When I first got mine, I spent an evening reading the manual and project suggestions. The next day I tried out all the projects that were suggested that I had the proper materials for. I sew a lot of costumes and my serger is my go to machine. It's fast, makes a great finished look on clothing and I've even used it to sew sequin strands and ribbons and other trims to have a finished look. Enjoy!
