Got the serger last night!!!

[Candice2boys]

I am so excited, I can't wait to use it. I have to watch the video and read up on stuff first. I have to drag out a VCR since we don't have one hooked up to the tv's. Too bad the video wasn't a dvd instead. I'm thrilled!!! I am gonna make mama pads, wipes, soakers, doublers, fitteds, prefitteds, covers and clothes with it!!! WOO HOO !!! My new passion besides my family

Which one did you get?

[Candice2boys]

The Kenmore. It had a great review at a sewing site.

Nice...did you get it on sale?

I just got mine this past week too! I hope you can figure it out because I can't seem to

I can't wait to see what you make with it!

I was so intimidated when I first got my serger. It spend most of the day sitting there taunting me. Then I actually watched the video and threaded it (it was threaded incorrectly when I got it!), and then decided to give it a shot, making some one-layer sherpa wipes. Once I actually started USING it, it wasn't quite so intimidating.

Good luck!!! And I wish they had a DVD instead of VCR tape too. Luckily we still have a VCR hooked up, even if it hasn't been used in YEARS.

Okay, I think it's amusing that I just posted in your other thread about whether or not you need to have a serger

Of course I posted that you didn't need one

But now that you have one, I agree with Boscopup... watch the video and then just start playing with it. When you run into trouble and you can't figure it out, drag out the video or the manual again and see if it helps. If not, go to your local sewing store and ask them how to do whatever it is you're trying.

HAVE FUN!!!!! (you'll love it for prefitteds, doublers and wipes!)

I just got one too!!! DH decided I had talked about it long enough, and he went to my sewing machine shop and got me a Janome Mylock. He totally surprised me It is sitting here taunting me, because I haven't tried it out yet! I have a lesson this week on how to use it, and I'll probably play with it before then, but I haven't had a chance to get to the fabric store and buy thread for the darn thing!

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to go buy thread...

Ok, now I am getting reeealllly jealous....maybe I will sell some of my stash that I don't use, in order to finance a serger!

I think there is some serger fever going around!! Maybe we should tempt Strawhatbat the way she tempted others to peek!! I my serger.
