So I've been feeling a little down with my recent health issues (there's more, I don't want to get into it right now, but I will make an update when I feel it's necessary). So what's a girl to do when she's upset? A bit of retail therapy!
It's been a long time coming for me to get a new serger. I once fell in love with the amazing BabyLocks, but after comparing them to some of the other machines in the same (or less expensive!) price range, I think I can get more for my money by sticking with a Singer or Juki. So I popped onto a few of the sites I know to have good deals on machines and look what I find:
Singer's newest 5-thread overlock machine!
Here's its specs:
Create garments and gifts with professional results every time! The Singer Professional 5 sews at 1,300 stitches per minute with 5/4/3/2 thread capability and differential feed. It has a fully automatic self adjusting tension system and adjustable stitch width. Includes 6 presser feet: Taping, Cording, Shirring, Blindstitch Hem, Elastic, and Beading.
