After hearing me jest about wanting one, DH bought me an Evolve for Solstice. This is a HUGE purchase for us!
Well once I figured the darn thing out I realized it's no quicker to thread with the Jet Air (though a bit more idiot proof) than my White 2000ATS. Also, that to get the tension right is just as much fussing as with my White, just in a different way. Certainly more options, but I've been less than impressed overall -- I feel like it's way hyped up.
Then, tonight, I went to serge up a reversible baby poncho, which requires serging 4 layers of fleece together at the neckline, and the cutting blade simply couldn't cut through 4 layers of fleece! My White does, no problem. I nearly sliced my finger trying to shove the fabric under the presser foot.
I really want to just sell the darn thing. But I'm afraid to hurt DH's feelings.
Anyway, thanks for listening to the rant!
