What is a good serger that is not too pricey?
I have done quite a bit of research on this and I keep seeing BabyLock Imagine and Viking 936D. I have a Bernina sewing machine and I know they are great machines but the sergers that I looked at are much more than I am wanting to pay right now.
Does anyone know anything about the Brother 1034D?
Also does anyone have a coverhem machine? Is that worth the investment?
I think the most important criteria for choosing a serger are, how easy is it to thread (can be a real bear on older sergers) and how easy is it to adjust the tension for each of the threads. If you are just sewing on cotton, the tension should not be a problem, but if you switch from cotton to fleece or velvet or canvas to organza the tension will have to be changed. I have a 4 thread machine and it does everything, rolled hems, gathering/ruffles.
Go to a sewing machine store and test the machines, see how they feel, thread the machine and change the tensions to see how hard it is.
