Who wants to recommend a serger? Is the babylock auto threading worth the cost?

I just looked at that serger too. I was wondering the same thing. Hope someone can give us some info. Joyce

Yes, it is worth every penny. I have had a Babylock serger (Evolve) for over 6 years and love it. It is sooo easy and quick to thread and a workhorse. But test stitch every serger at the dealer(s) near you to get one that you like and fits your budget. BTW, I won't trade mine in even for the Evolution.

I have the babyloc -Imagine.........I don't do anything special with it though-just the normal edge stitching or finishing seams, but always runs very good for me!

I have the evolve ,a lovely overlocker.I just wish the needles threaded themselves at times especially in the hot weather when fingers are hot & sticky.This machine does cover stitch as well.Get a demo to see what else it can do besides overlocking & cover stitch.There is a DVD which shows everything the evolve does,you might be able to borrow it or watch it at the shop.

It wasn't to me, at least right now. As my up close vision gets worse over the years I'll most likely reconsider. LOL I find the threading on my 1034D to be incredibly easy, especially compared to my old Pfaff. It's a nice, inexpensive machine that does everything I need it to.

love my Bernina, it is nothing fancy, but a work horse. I forget the number, and It is home and I'm in China sorry. It is about 5 years old
