Guess what I just got??!!! A new serger!

[LoveBaby]

And I'm soooo excited! I've been wanting one every since I started cd'ing to make dipes, trim pf's and so on...but couldn't find what I wanted (bernina) in my price range.

I've been doing searches on ebay for months and finally it paid off!!! I got a Bernina Bernette Funlock 006 for $165!!! The least I've seen these for is around $300 so I'm beyond thrilled!!! It was even that at the BIN price so I snatched it up before anyone else would!!

I've been serging up a storm every since it came on Mon. and I'm soo in w/ it!! I don't think it had been used at all! It also came w/ a multi-purpose foot and a gathering foot!

Anyway..just wanted to share my excitement!

It has been very easy to figure out!

Woo Hoo!!! I've been eyeing sergers for awhile now, I'm so jealous!

Enjoy

Congrats on your new serger! I know what you mean about being in ! Serging is just so much fun -- when I got mine, I started looking for random things to serge just because I was so in love with the speed and sound it made.

Have fun!

Congratulations!

I've been wanting a serger for some time now, but have been worried about the learning curve.

I've been sewing for over 30 years, but for some reason a serger seems intimidating - maybe it's all the different thread or something.

I think I'll add it to my wish list, though.

If you've been sewing for a long time then you should have *no* problem serging! The last time I did any sewing was my freshman year in HS...so quite a few yrs. ago and I picked this up immediately! Granted I only know the basics, but am looking forward to doing more!

Jesse... I am so absolutely and completely jealous I have a basic sewing machine right now and really, I can't complain because it is serving me well... but, oh how I long for a serger!

Glad you picked it up so fast.. you'll have to share some of your creations with me
