yes, I can relate to trying to thread a serger or even a sewing machine these days. I have Babylock's Evolve and am very happy with it. I don't use the serger much so can't see upgrading everytime they get a new one. Its the 1st time I've been able to do the cover stitch. My old Elna serger I never could get it threaded correctly so kept it for 3-thread stitching. Love my Babylock though.
