I paid $800 for my serger....i rarely use it. I should have bought the Brother 8034. I love my serger but I really dont put it to good use like I thought that I would.

Babylock, hands down the best on the market. I have the new Ovation...also an Evolve. Love them both. Auto threading is worth the cost. Try them at your local dealer.....

Anyway, I am in search of a new serger that is low on its need for service maintenance and not too pricey. What is your recommendation? Thank you for your help.

My Bernina serger died and I was almost glad because it was the devil to thread. I bought a Juki and love it and not hard to thread at all. Juki makes the Bernina sergers so I am still in the Bernina family. I love my serger.....

I have one front Hancock. It's made by Janome. It's the Juno 3434D. I have had it for 8 years & recently just has it cleaned & new blades put on. My tech said it really wasn't that dirty & I use it a lot!! I do vacuum it often tho.

Babylock. Best buy I ever made. Sew on it every day and had one service after 10 years. Still going strongly.

I have had one for several years and have never used it. Bought it from a shop that has crummy classes to learn how to use it. Don't make clothes much any more so I guess I should sell it and use the money for more unneeded fabric.

I have a Babylock Ovation and Babylock Imagine. Would never buy any serger without jet-air threading. Well worth the money
