Need Opinions on Elna Sergers and heavy-duty sergers!  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My MIL came across a sewing shop that has a display model of an Elna serger for half price. I'm starting a diaper-sewing business and they guy selling it told her that the Elna is good - particularly for differential tension serging (when you are sewing multiple layers of fabric that have different stretchiness).

Right now I'm borrowing a Viking serger (one of the new ones) and a Bernina that's about 10 years old. I actually like the bernina a bit better than the Viking.

For those of you heavy-duty serging mammas - what heavy-duty serger do you recommend for someone starting a sewing business?

Thanks for your input!

Hands down Pfaff. I love my Pfaff serger and I HATE Elna!!!!!!! I had an Elna 634, it was near impossible to turn corners on and wouldn't serge through 3 layers of hemp, heck, it barely did 2 layers of hemp. I bought a used 4752 and e-bayed that Elna and I LOVE my Pfaff 4752, so does my mom :LOL
