I just managed to win the bid for a Huskylock 910 serger off EBay. It should arrive in time to do the narrow hem on the crystal organza for the flowergirl dress for my granddaughter I'll be making for DD's wedding. Plus lots of other good stuff! ;-)



I gave serious thought to the Huskylock 936, but the salesman took several tries at getting the tension right, and never could get it to produce a good cover stitch. I had some off-group conversations with Kate (thanks, Kate!), and finally decided to get a stand-alone coverstitch machine later when I have more time for the research. For now, the 910 will really fill the bill, my old Bernette MO234 is wonderful, but it doesn't produce a very good rolled narrow hem, and has no differential feed. I'm happy, happy, happy....

YAY!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when it arrives at its new home. :)

Enjoy it.

Hi Sharon,

Oh yeah! I'll probably be asking Kate for hints and how-tos, but I'm really looking forward to having a _much better_ serger. :-)

Today, I'm inserting the hidden zipper in DD's wedding gown bodice, and placing small lace motifs around the neckline. Then it's off to older DD for hand beading, I will finish the petticoat, and draft the gown skirt next. Darned arthritis, I find I am able to sew for only a couple of hours each day. Glad I have five months....

Thanks, I'll let you know if I run into difficulty. For the most part, I'm going to postpone learning the bells and whistles until I'm further along on the wedding party gowns.
