Ok, so lets say I've been reading a lot of your blogs and realized I really needed (or so I thought I did) a coverstitch machine. I did a little research and figured I was not about to put out over $1,000 for a new machine. So, I did get a Singer Quantumlock for a reasonable price. What have I gotten myself into! I am the type of person who is not easily defeated. But, this thing is a monster. For the last six days I have been attempting to go through the manual and try all of the stitches. Changing the needle positions and feet are just a little more than I bargained for. My old serger was just fine, four small spools of thread and off we went! No, I had to want more! So, I'll spend the rest of this weekend too attempting to master this new toy. Wish me luck, patience and some magical powers to conqure this thing :)

A new toy is always fun. Hope you made out all right with
your serger :)
I'm sure you'll do just fine...after a little more "getting use to a new machine" :)
Have fun with your new machine!

I feel the same way about my combo server/coverstitch machine. I dusted off my old 4 thread serger a few weeks ago...it squeaks, but works wonderfully! I love the name and subtitle of your blog---reminds me of my own Mom!
I have heard many people complain of getting this machine threaded and up and running, but once you do, you will be happy. It's not just you! :0)
