I have a jet air Babylock which was the best and easiest to use of several sergers I sold in my store. Before I closed my store I bought one for my daughter. Short story, she brought it back, did not want to learn to sew. Still have it in the unopened box, never used. Also bought her a Brother 8500 which she did not use either. Told her to sell it if she would not learn to use it which she did. Back to sergers, jet-air is the way to go.

I have 3 baby Lock sergers and a Bernette. Baby Lock is the only way to go. If you can't afford a new one, look for a good used one with air jet threading. The Evolve is an 8 thread serger and cover stitch, but you have to change needles and set up. My favor is the Imagine wave. I have made several wall hanging quilts on the serger and it goes really fast. If you are hand quilting, you will want to piece on the sewing machine.

I have had & have a Bernina. Use it for sewing. Let's put it this way I AM LOST WHEN IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR A CLEANING, so needless to say it doesn't go until I have no choice. Wouldn't be without it. Would love to have a second one like it so I would have to be changing from black to white all the time. Yes they can be $$$.

I have a Pfaff 4862 that I purchased 5 years ago. It is next to top of the line. Due to ill health, I am selling most of my equipment. If interested,google it on Pfaff site, and email me at [email protected] for more details.
