I would get the serger, without a doubt. For one, they are more affordable
and it has alot more uses. Sewing goes much faster and the garments will
hold together better and look more professional.
Now I do love my embroidery machine but it is mostly fun (and I have a
serger).
But you have gotten me thinking about Christmas now and all I wanted to do
was make some Fall clothes for me... I am not as organized as you I guess.
Christmas will creep up on me this year as it does every year.
