I have a serger that driving me crazy to thread my serger . I am tired of , I want automatic .

I like my Overlocker serger - I sat for two days teaching myself how to thread loopers and trying out the various stitches on scrap fabric.

Now it's old and it's time for an upgrade - I'm looking at a machine that will Overlock and do straight stitch, but, will also take up to 12 layers of Denim, 4 layers wool coating, etc. With the amount of sewing I do in making my own clothes, home soft furnishings, etc, I need an industrial machine that can do the work. Both Pfaff and Husqvarna make such machines for domestic use, but, they aren't cheap, lol! They're also very heavy so need to be set up in a permanent place.

I'm not keen on automatic feeds - I've had three go wrong and my frustration levels were too high to sit and sew, lol! Manual is a pain, but, at least I know I won't be swearing my head off as much, lol!
