Please help. I know absolutely nothing about overlockers (or sewing for
that matter) but I would like to buy one for my mother. Which is a good
make, lots of extras etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sascha

I suggest you go to each sewing machines web site and look at the different
sergers(overlockers) to see what is available. Then make a date for a
luncheon, an afternoon out, etc and take your Mom to a few shops and allow
her to try out the machines in your price range, which can vary greatly,
depending on different features.
Personally, I have a Pfaff 4872, 5 threads and cover stitch, that is about 6
years old, which I enjoy using. Other people who I know have others and
enjoy theirs as much as I do mine.
Sewing machines, including sergers, are very personal, like the automobile,
so your Mom ultimately needs to choose the one she likes and feels
comfortable using.
www.janome.com ; www.babylock.com ; www.pfaff-usa.com ; www.singerco.com ;
www.bernina.com These are some of the web sites, which I believe are all
correct.

I agree with Emily also, you really need to test drive those that interest
you. One more hint.......take your own fabric to test sew. Take pieces of
whatever you will be sewing on, have sewed on or think you will sew on the
most.
