For anyone considering purchasing a serger….please take the time to test drive a Babylock. When you see the jet-air threading and the stitch quality, you will be sold. I bought my Evolve 11 years ago, and recently attended a 3 day Serger Workshop where we used the new Evolution. Once you use a Babylock, none of the others will do.
My choice is the 1300 BERNINA serger! It is as easy as it comes to thread, use and experience many different techniques a serger can do! 🙂
Chain stitching and the coverstitch are included with this model.
Definitely a must have!
