Congrats on the new to you serger, Peace and Joy. I love mine. I am on my 3rd serger, wore the others out. I used to make my gkids layettes and all their little shirts and pants for daycare. Now I just make nighties for me, and fleece throws for a charity. I don't consider necessary tools a part of the moratorium. After all we need the proper tools to use up our stashes. And the FQ was on sale, so I will allow you that.
