So I don't really know much of anything about sergers. But now I have one, thanks to the desire to declutter that a fellow non-sewing crafty friend had as she came across this serger sitting in the back of her closet for several years had. She'd talked to me a couple of years about sergers and I'd talked about how I thought it would be easier to do linings on a serger but I wasn't sure that I wanted to invest in one. She said "I've got one I'm not using. I'll look for it and give you a call." And she did when she finally came across it yesterday. So it's used, but it's only been used a few times and it hasn't been used in years. So a nice cleaning and maybe an oiling and a test run on scrap fabric. But I'm excited. I think this will make working with ripstop easier so I may actually be able to turn some of the ripstop I purchased into reusable shopping totes like I planned. And after looking at a quilt recently on MovingHands Flickr stream with seams exposed, I've got an idea for the flap of a messenger bag that I think will be easier to make with a serger. Now if only I had time to sit down and play with it for a week to really get to know it.serger
