This machine does the job! It's lite enough to move around. I never owned a serger and found the directions easy to follow. There a plenty of Utube videos to help also.
I am a newbie and with the cd's that came with the machine and the online help, and even facebook users groups... this is turning out to be one of the best choices I have ever made. Its a sweet running and very easy to learn... once I got past my fear of the unknown. Great Machine!!
The machine is a good tool and helps me with projects that would take me a lot longer with a regular machine. I'm making draw string bags out of fleece that match the no-sew twin size single layer fleece blankets. These are going to a school for children that are deaf that live in Mexico. The serger has made these bag look professionally done and they will last and last! I'm so very happy that I purchased the machine! I wonder now why I waited so long before I took the plunge! I can't wait until I start on doll clothes (My next project)!
It does what I want it to serge edge of cloth before washing, I have not tried to do anything else yet. I wish I could reduce the speed. I am not comfortable with is going as fast as it does.
