Sorry I didn't realize that it was a serger. My PFAFF sewing machine will do some of the same stitches. Personally I dont care for sergers. You either love them or hate them. If you dont have much experience sewing I would just purchase a sewing machine. You might actually have more fun with a sewing machine that has decorative stitches. Just remember the more hightech it is the more things that can go wrong,kind of like a car.
My 401A will do approx 40 different stitches, my PFAFF is computerized and will do 199 with the capacity to link it to a laptop and make more. Way more stuff than most people will use.
Be sure to purchase your machine from a dealer,usually lessons pertaining to whatever machine you purchase is part of the deal. Also make sure that the place you purchase has an "in house" tech incase something goes wrong with it,,like you hit a pin and knock it out of time.
Huskvana,Bernina,Singer and PFAFF are all very good machines. Purchasing a sewing machine is a,you get what you pay thing. With the exception of my $2.00 Singer 401A,I already knew about this machine it is what I learned on.
There are so many wonderful lessons on youtube. I teach with a vintage Singer book that came out in 1957 or so,the techniques are the same no matter what machine you are sewing on.
Would love to hear what you decide to purchase.
