I'm so jealous of your setup! I finally have one of my kids rooms for my sewing/project/computer room. I'm thinking of buying a serger, but, I've never used one. I still sew the old fashioned way, kind of take pride in how my wrong side looks. Any specific brands that are good?
Glad to hear your safe and sound from Katrina. I'm just north of Milwaukee. We're 'almost' neighbors.
Indy....whatever serger you end up buying, DON'T go for an inexpensive one. A used one from a local dealer is fine!!
Find a dealer who you like...and (oh boy) deal with them!
:)
That way, if/when it needs repairs or IF you need help running it...you've got access. Just go around and look at different name brands and see who is NOT pushy in selling to you, and how comfy you are with that store.
I won't say anything about buying Pfaff anything and everything, OK? ;)
Find a Babylock dealer and get a demo and test drive before you buy anything. I bought mine about 4 yrs. ago on eBay, but of course the due diligence, comparisons, feedback checking, etc. is a requirement.
Thanks ... and enjoy planning and creating in your new sewing haven ... you'll love it. Get plenty of good light.
