Would you be surprised if I told you that corn flakes are made by Chevrolet? Not true but life has gotten about that complicated. Back Dec 30 my precious techy guy urged me to replace my serger before weighting down the control cord with a hefty 4-battery flashlight to make it go gave out. My 'old' serger is a Bernina but parts are no longer (25 years or so) available. I found a nearly identical model made by Juki (Japan) available at Allbrands. She's here. They even threaded her so I wouldn't have to go through threading a new serger trauma. Lots of thread, very interesting accessory new feet, a cd, a manual, a workbook, and a tool box + some stuff I'll never figure out. All of us hurt when Japan suffered such devastation. I was grateful that I had some UFOs that I could finish and send to wrap their homeless . . . but they are survivors. Post Katrina, we know a lot about surviving. The new Juki MO655 is a honey, love at first sight. And we hoist one to survivors. Aren't we all? Polly
Serger is here!

We are all survivors, Polly. And indeed we'll hoist one to Japan, new serge= rs, sewing machines in general and survivors everywhere. I'm so glad you ha= ve a new machine. I've already decided that my next machine will probably b= e a straight stitch Juki so I can 'draw' with thread all I want without fea= r of overheating or mangling thread or ... anything. They go fast and make = wonderfully neat stitches and can handle just about anything. Sounds like s= omebody is making good stuff and we're lucky to be able to buy it.
Happy serging ...=20 Sunny
congrats on the new serger---
