The SERGER!!!!

I DID it! I've been looking, looking looking for a serger for a while. My mom had 2 but all I remember is how she'd cuss every time a thread would break and she'd have to re-thread.
I go into the shops, look around, look dumb, ask for help, ask for a demo, make myself a pest....think about it and then walk out.

Keep in mind...they are NOT cheap! PLUS it's not like I don't already have LOTS of projects to work on in my ever shrinking spare time. Cooking, building, clay tile, oven, beads, jewelry, mosaics, of my own. Then add in the projects of the boys and girls. I could start whining about my job too, but I don't want to start.

Yesterday after a WSHA meeting I went to SouthCenter in Tukwilla. I did my non-shopping that I always do. No- wait...I bought a cook book. (Dine Out Seattle - Past and Present) Wonderful book! All the awesome beautiful recipes from the best restaurants in Seattle from yesteryear and now.   (I digress)

Back to the SERGER.....As I was heading to Kent to connect with Wayne and get some dinner....out of the corner of my eye....I saw a sign..."Sewing Machine Outlet Store"!!! I nearly crossed the center line. Whipped little Miss REDSHIFT Mini Cooper around and went in. The sign said "closed at 5pm" it was 5:05 but the door was open.

One young lady was there...."are you open?" I asked. "Sure! For you, come on in!" she said. So began me buying the top of the line Baby Lock Serger. OMG! 8 threads! Now I need to take some classes to learn how to use it. (they're free!)

my serger - but mine is still in the box

I couldn't even take it out of the box last night. I got it from Quality Sewing and Vacuum - Outlet store. They made me a screaming deal I couldn't refuse. The great news....It has an easy air-threading contraption to make the threading soooo easy AND there're no tension hassles!

Expect some posts about learning how to use it and hopefully, eventually some things I've made.
