Hi!
Recently I began to think I really want to buy a serger! :)
The problem is that there are so many sergers over the Internet so I got confused :S

I wanted to ask you – what type of serger do you use and is it recommended?
Is 600$ enough? I don’t want to buy something super-expensive,
but I want a good serger not only for beginners :)
Also I saw on amazon that most of the sergers cost 300$
but I don’t know if they are really good and if it is good to buy things like that in the Internet?
Thanks for the help!

    The Brother 1034. My girlfriend who has a pricey Janome even said had she known how great this serger was, she would have happily bought it. just look at the reviews at Walmart. I have had mine for 3 years now, and it is just as good as ever.

    Have you looked at the previous discussions of this topic? Take a look through them and see what people say… And have a read the sewing machine buying essay I wrote? http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk/On%20the%20care%20&%20Feeding%20of%20sewing%20machines/on_the_choosing.htm

    I run a Brother 1034D along side my Bernina 1150MDA. You can tell where the extra cash went on the Bernina, but the Brother is an excellent machine, and has the free-arm feature I needed. It’s the one I recommend to serger newbies as you really can just plug and play with it.

    Janome also has a model the magnolia-and the # just left me but it sells for around $200. and is an excellent machine. Comparable to the Brother 1034.

    Forgot to mention that I did buy mine on Amazon. They have always been good to me about replacing/refunding everything, so I wasn’t afraid about something being wrong.
