I bought a Singer 14U234 30 yrs ago and have never had a problem with it. I use it for clothing. Get one w/3-4 thread, differential, and free arm. Learn how to thread it. Make notes on the tension until you understand how to change it. Then experiment on scraps. I took some lessons on how to make a t-shirt and then worked on my own. Have fun, you can make a top in less than 45 minutes!!

I have a Babylock but I bought mine 14 years ago. I bought it because we bought a "new to us" house that had no window coverings and lots and lots of windows. I didn't use it much after that until the past several years. I love it for making clothing and finishing seams. Have seen some pictures of quilts using the sergers, but have yet to try it. Would suggest differential feed, 3 or 4 thread options and ease of threading. The lower looper can be a real challenge sometimes! And free-arm - I use it often for hemming pants and shorts of putting in sleeves.

I've had one for years but don't use it so much anymore.

I also bought a Singer Serger about 20 years ago and have had no problems. I also own an industrial serger and used it to sew thousands of yards of drapery. The Singer is every bit as good as the industrial and is easier to thread and adjust. I love mine.
