Yes on Thursday ,a loverly day out.It was probably The Babylock Evolve overlocker. I bought one last year at Darling Harbour.Reels 3& 4 (& 5 used for cover st) are threaded by air.It is a beautiful expensive machine made in Japan that does many other things as well.
Show special about $3,395 with lots of threads in a box ,instuction books ,dvds etc.The trouble I had with it was my husband broke his ankle before I got to pick it up & it took awhile before I could sit down in peace to play with it but now I am use to it.You can get all sorts of feet to go with it ,bought the pin tucking foot & there are a more interesting feet being developed eg a bias binder foot. These feet are being made by the Australian distributor in Melbourne based on some of the feet available on commercial overlockers.Went to a demo last Dec about this.
Why don't you go to the Quilt show at Darling Habour in June & ask for a demo ,it will be cheaper there,maybe even cheaper seeing that our $ is worth more now.
This model is the most expensive one because it has coverstitch other models have the air threading too
ooo I was there yesterday too , its a shame we didnt post before going we could have met up.I had a great time , I bought a huge cutting mat for $34 , a cute babushka sewing kit some wooden bag handle for $5 and 6 rotary cutter blanes for $19 95,what did everyone else buy

OOOPs, just read the other posts and see you already have an answer
Was going to guess that it was Probably a Juki. Juki made Elna and Singer embroidery machines and they were both completely self threading.
Oh well, hugs n roses anyway, Meganne
I didn't even know it was on - we don't get much advertising of it up here in Newcastle. Love Chris
P.S. The overlocker (serger for our friends overseas) sounds a dream!!!!!
Did anyone find any new ideas that you can make and put into Projects? Lyn
I love using lace, and the idea of dying it was something I had to try, so I bought a kit to give it a go...

Hi Lynn - The machine is the Babylock. Did you enjoy the show? I was there yesterday.
