Serger

[lady_vader]

I want to have a serger. I've never owned one before, I've never even tried on one home serger. I've only tried to sew on industrial sergers 14 years ago. (these things are QUICK! but so were their sewing machines

I have a Janome MyLock 634D which is similar if you have questions about it. I think for home sewing it is a good machine although it sometimes fails me when it gets too hot (but I serge for literally hours daily, and it is not made for that level of wear).

If it is panties you want to make for yourself, you really only need a machine with zigzag stitch. But anything with longer seams like t-shirts or skirts etc. a serger is very handy. I find a serger is too clumsy for most doll sewing though.

It is absolutely okay to go try the machines and not buy. That is why they are there...it's like test driving a car. Surely you don't feel you have to buy a car from a specific dealer just because you tried it out there, if you find a better price elsewhere! Don't feel bad about going back and trying them again at the same store. You are truly shopping, not pretending to want to buy one, you know?
