I am very pleased with my new serger. My old brother serger just gave out. It was only 35 plus years old. My new one came with the gathering foot ( I haven't tried it yet ) and the hemming foot. That one is great, I used it to shorten the sleeves on my daughter's new shirt. I have since ordered the elastic foot and it will be here very soon. I just can't wait for everyone to leave me alone and let me use my new machine. I also have a regular sewing machine by Brother and did have another but gave it to a 12 year old friend that was interested in learning to sew. Brother is a wonderful brand. Oh, I forgot my Brother fax machine.
