[Northkeep] Serger recommendations anyone?

[Mercedes/Stephanie]

Especially if you are going to use it primarily for edge finishing, which is
what I use mine for.  Ease of threading is a big plus!!!!!!!!!!  And even if
your machine will do pull through threading, where you tie the new thread
onto the old thread - - - - - threads break!!!!! and then you have to still
be able to thread it yourself.  I have a White that I bought at the sewing
machine area inside Joann's  - they do layaway and will teach you how to use
the machine............

I have a Pfaff and I love it.

But there are many good models available in many brands. If budget is a
concern (and isn't it always for all of us?) you might consider getting a
better quality machine that is a used or trade-in machine.

Some things that may play an important part in your decision as to which
machine to get: ease of threading the machine and needles (this can be VERY
frustrating if you have a difficult machine); ease of changing presser feet;
and ease of changing needles and blades.

Check out the various machines at sewing stores around town and ask them to
show you how to thread the machine etc. then try it yourself. If it makes
you nuts, that could mean that particular machine is not for you.

Good luck.
