My mother gave me a Sears Kenmore when I graduated from high school. At the time I sewed off/on, but then stopped except for mending, etc. It was a good machine and came with an automatic button-holer. Who KNEW! I had been taught how to do them manually! What a dream! About 3 years ago, I got the "itch" to start sewing again and ended up buying a Brother 2500D. It worked well -- embroidery was a whole new world for me! And all the stitches and capabilities the new machines have -- I was HOOKED! But, I decided I needed a serger. I made the investment and went with the Babylock Evolve! What a wonderful machine -- the jet air threading makes it a dream! Getting used to it was not hard at all -- and I'm still learning! Then last year for Christmas, my husband and son (unbeknownst to me) traded my Brother for the Babylock Ellisimo! It is the most amazing machine to work on. It has SO many options it makes alot of my projects quite a bit easier/less frustrating! I'm still learning, but I enjoy every second that I can steal away -- even if it's just to run a test seam!
