Here is my serger story. In 1990 I bought a Babylock Eclipse with air thread. I used it to death...literally to death. I bought a Babylock Evolve, but my time was short and I did not have time to learn how to use it properly, the store I purhased from closed two weeks after my purchase and this thing is complicated. I sold it and bought a Pfaff, thinking that after all these years, surely they have improved on the difficulty of threading these things. Not so! The Pfaff is a PITA to thread and I only bought it at Christmas! If you can afford Babylock with air threading, go for it..you will save yourself a lot of grief. I have also heard very good things about the Brother sergers, and I have a Brother embroidery machine and am thrilled with it. Good luck in your decision. Test drive, thread, and be careful out there! Buyer's remorse is painful!
