I think I killed my overlocker/serger.

I think I just killed my Eva Royal overlocker. Last year I knocked the timing out of wack and with a service and new blade I spent 194? getting her back. At the time the repair engineer said it was touch and go and possibly not worth it , but as it was me he did but it was a lot of money in man hours to do the job hence the bill. Now this time I have broken the top looper and the foot is at an odd angle. I hit a zipper head this time. I am seriously considering getting a Lidl overlocker usually around 159? because all I do with the overlocker, since I got my coverlock, is neaten seams. and sew T shirt shoulder and side seams. I am thinking it would be cheaper than the repair bill. Opinions please?


After much searching, and swearing at the computer screen, Ebay, Le bon coin and other online sales forums. I have finally found a 2nd hand one New in it's box never been used . I do wish people who put things up for sale answered their messages, phone and removed items once they are sold!!! That being so I have found a Lidl /Pfaff one for 80 ? plus postage so under 100? Fingers crossed.

I hope it arrives in perfect condition!

Hoping and wishing and praying as the song goes.!
