I bought one of these this weekend...
It was on sale and I have always thought I really needed one (especially with as much sewing as I do). I hear it can really cut down on time...so I thought, why not?! --- Can you hear the rationalization through justification going on in my head here?!? Anyway, I decided to hop in the car and go to JoAnn's to get my very first serger.
I am normally not so impulsive...I mean, I do my research, read all the reviews, compare models/prices...the whole bit. But not this time...I can honestly say, I got the flyer in the mail on Friday, noticed it was on sale ($100 off...not too shabby)...went out of town for the weekend, came home on Sunday and decided I would be buying myself a serger! Soooo, not like me!
Needless to say, I have absolutely NO IDEA how to use the thing. But, I am hoping to learn...and fast! :) Until then, I will enjoy the *idea* that I am now the proud owner of a serger.
In fact, last night...I was doing a little internet research looking for project ideas that I want to tackle now that I have this handy dandy little machine and I came across a blog (which I need to look at again to see what it was so I can start following) anyway, this woman was an incredible seamstress! I was in awe at the things she created. So professional and finished looking. Each time I would point one of her creations out to my husband and go on and on about how wonderful her work was, he would say, "You could do that. Easily. You're that good too."
Wow.He.Is.Amazing. Just when you think you can't possibly love someone anymore than you already do...you can! Just another one of the 1,265,984 reasons to love this guy! Another one...he has been calling the *serger* and *sifter*...ahahaha! Like last night he said, Uhhh, honey...are you planning on leaving your sifter there (motioning over to the kitchen table where it has been sitting since I plopped it down when I got home from buying it on Sunday).
He is adorable...and when you are that adorable you get your wife to happily pick up her crap and put it where it belongs. :)

Okay...this is awesome! Whatcha gonna do?!?! I'm scared to learn how! Look at all the thread rods? YIKES! I'll have to hear how it goes;) good luck missy!
Well...I did read the manual...and it intimidated me even more! Haha!! It looks like the threading is going to be the hardest part (hopefully) of getting this thing up and going!
Get ready for your tutorial when I figure out how to work this bad boy! :)
Not sure what I will make yet, but I am thinking it will help make a few of my current sewing projects go a little faster! And...I did find a few things I may want to try, I'll tell you all about them next time we catch up (which hopefully will be pool side this weekend)!
