Babylock vs. Bernina sergers - Threads
2000年11月4日 · The only reason I can think of to choose another brand of serger over a Babylock is if having a coverstitch is essential to you and you don't want to go as far as top-of-the-line; Babylock only offers the coverstitch on its highest-end machine, which is an 8-thread machine, whereas most other lines offer it on 4 or 5 thread machines.Although I ...

Serger: Bernina, BabyLock OR ??? - Threads
2009年2月21日 · Hi Lilbur, I have a Bernina 1200 MDA serger. Here in South Africa we call these machines, overlock machines. The Bernina 1200 MDA is very easy to thread and has a so called 'micro thread control' - a wondeful feature which makes it easy to prevent loops at the edge of the overlock stitch or the bundeling of fabric in the stitch.
Serger recommendations? - Threads
2004年6月11日 · This is far better value for your money in my view. The reason I purchased it, in addition to my serger and industrial machine is that it has stretch stitches and zig-zag which I needed to make sports wear, lingerie and bra's. The machine (in the Bernina line at least) must include the letter CD or CS to indicate that cover stitch is included.
Serger upgrade - Threads
2006年9月4日 · The Vikings really handle the heavier decorative threads well in the loopers for decorative work. I love the book Serger Secrets also. For beautiful rolled hems on sheers, it helps to use water soluble stabilizer under the fabric. I use my serger for sewing more often than the sewing machine! Mary
Elna serger - Threads
2006年1月26日 · I can say that the Elna is the easiest serger I have ever used with the automatic tensions and 5 tilt needles. At the time I was looking for machine with the triple coverhem. The Bernina 009 coverhem only machine was $800 and didn't offer the triple cover. Janome has since come out with 2 coverhem only machines and priced less.
Searching for a serger - Threads
2000年1月4日 · I am not famailiar with the Elna sergers, but have been teaching serger classes(on all makes and models) for over 12 years and feel I need to have most advanced serger to keep up with the latest serger techniques. PS-- I'm still looking to sell my Bernina 2000DCE serger if anyone is interested--it's on the Sewing Rummage page.
RECOMMEND BEST SERGER - Threads
2007年2月20日 · It is a great machine! You can do so much more than I ever imagined with a serger. Never been in the shop except for yearly check up and cleaning. I find it very easy to use, I tried a basic inexpensive serger first, only used it to finish seams, hated it, especially messing with the tensions, three months later, replaced it with the 936.
Purchasing a new serger - Threads
1999年4月5日 · The 5 thread serger is made up of a 2 thread chain stitch and a 3 thread overlock next to it and is good for sewing bulkier fabrics as the stitch is usually pretty wide. This type of machine will also allow you to use one stitch without the other ie., using the 2 thread by itself.
Bernina cut n' sew - Threads
2006年5月19日 · Thanks so much for the input. I do love this forum. I guess I am going to have to learn to properly thread and unjam my serger because all the feedback I've received on the cut n'sew attachment for my Bernina 1230 has been negative. The clincher came today when I called the local Bernina dealer who actually discouraged me from buying one.
