I had a Euro-Pro from HSN that I did NOT like. Sold it on e-Bay because I never used it. Now I have a Brother Serger that I do love. I do use it a lot, and it is easy to thread myself. It has 2 DVD's as well as a great manual with it. I recommend Brother products. It is a Brother Lock 1034D, and I got it online from Ken's Sewing in ALABAMA. I recommend his shop very highly for buying online. He is the Brother online distributorship, and he takes care of his buyers, and packaging for shipping is great. I've been to his store to pick up my first machine from him and am satisfied. He has almost 50,000 internet sales with 99.7% satisfaction. I am just a satisfied customer.

I think they have their place and it all depends on what you are doing. I don't use them at all for quilting but I do make clothes and pillowcases occasionally and I use a serger for that.

I have had a serger for years. I use it mostly for clothing but when I do applique blocks, I serge the edges of the foundation tho keep them from stretching and fraying, MIRACULOUS!! If you are having problems re-threading ( a real pain in the neck) just DON'T. Snip the threads at the cones and tie on the new threads, then turn the wheel to hand advance the the new thread. Stop at the needle(s), snip the knots off, and re thread the needle(s). the bottom threads (with the knots intact) will go through the bottom "loopers" just fine. Get a scrap of fabric and serge till the old thread is completely gone and new thread is all there is showing. DONE!!

I also have a 936 Husky and I love it. I have an old Brother in the closet but it would break the threads and was a bear to use. This one is so easy to thread and when you want to change colors you can just tie them on and be done. I like the serger to finish seams.

I love my Babylock because of the theeading. I also have a top of the line Bernina that I cursed everytime I had to use it. Took me longer to thread and get properly adjusted that to make the project. No regrets anout the Babylock.

It sounds like majority of people here like the serger. I think I will purchase it from craigslist if it still available. Thank you very much for all the comments

I also have the Brother 1034D serger. One of my best purchases ever. Use it constantly. I don't know why I was so intimidated...it really is easy to use.

I use my serger more for sewing than quilting ... although I have used it for decorative stitching on a quilted project and that was neat!

i have a babylock from many years ago, 3 thread, and used only for basting (with long stitch) and overcasting....elna 4 thread used for seaming knits, seaming wovens, and all straight line quilting... love the speed, great tensions, easy to use... i have a pfaff for sewing and i would estimate about 60/40 with the pfaff slightly ahead...

I also have a Brother. It is new and I have not tried it yet,but after reading the comments on the gals that have Brother sergers I am glad I chose this one.
