Sergers

:yahoo: You lucky girl Memaw! Did they take your other machines as trade ins? Forgetting the pedal sounds like something I would do? They should have made sure you had it..they should have known your head would be in the clouds over getting a new machine! LOL

Enjoy meemaw... you sure sound excited about it... I am excited for you... have fun... :yahoo:

If its a new machine chances are good you don't need the foot control...look for an on off button just above the needle.
Congrats!!! Post pics!!

Funny CC! I just put the picture of it in my album. I'm getting pretty good at adding pictures in my album. I gotta learn how to put them on here!

Yes, Annie I did trade back in the three I got last fall. He gave me a fantastic deal. I got the new one for $100.00 plus my trade-in's. I had paid $1400.00 for two of them and then he threw the other one in for free. So I feel I got a very good deal on this one. I had only wanted the serger in the beginning, but when he tossed the Pro-serger in for free what could I do? Then he said he'd give me the embroidery machine for the same price. I really thought I'd use it more than I did. I only used it 3 times and the Pro-serger 4 times.

I'm very happy with what I got today. I won't be tradeing this one in for a longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time!

Memaw....looks like a great machine! I've got a Janome sewing machine that I've been real pleased with. Its a work horse! congrats

CC if my singer ever quits working I'll be buying a Jamone sewing machine. They are great machines.

I'm going back to town today and getting the foot control! Maybe I'll even get use it today! I can't believe I was that stupid to forget something so important! When I called back in to let them know, they said Bob went out the door and was chasing our car trying to get us to stop.
We didn't even see him! I wish I had. That had to be hilarious.... I say that because you just gotta know Bob. He's a funny guy anyway and to see him running............priceless.

. . . I had a different one and threading was a real B--ch I have made quilts with it...log cabin...drapes, clothes, table cloths, home dec and so forth..... I know some of the newer ones out there can do all sorts of wonderful things...but I like what I have and it works well for me

I bought a used one at a sewing machine shop. The test was to unthread it and thread it myself. If I couldn't do so in the store, I certainly wasn't going to buy it. I haven't used it much. Plan to make some polar fleece shirts for next winter, but no real hurry.

Luvsquilting, once you learn to thread them you'll be fine. I usually always tie mine off instead of totally rethreading the machine. Although when I got home yesterday with my foot control I thought I'd be smart and take out the 5 threads and rethread myself. Oh my gosh! What a BIG mistake that was. I spent the entire afternoon AND evening trying to rethread the thing!
I was pulling my hair out and beating myself up for doing something so stupid! But, like you, I wanted to learn how to do it so I'd know.

Well all I can say is it's where it's gonna stay till I can go and learn how to do all the different things it can do. Right now I can serge on it and that's all I care about right now.
