Singer 5 thread Professional Series Serger

This post is overdue by about a month but, only because I wanted to have time to play with the machine and learn about all of the stitches I will be using it for.
Let me then begin by explaining how it all came about that I should be the proud owner of said machine..... I was actually expecting a different sewing machine to arrive the day that this one showed up at our door so I didn't get too excited when the box said Singer Serger on the outside, I simply assumed that the ebay shipper had this as a spare box and used it to ship my machine( I'll tell you about that one soon!) .

 See, it could have been anything was my thinking......well I ran downstairs to get Tim( my DH) to tell him the ebay machine was here and he came up so we could open it together. OMG..... When I opened it I nearly fell to the floor and couldn't stop grinning and giggling for about 5 minutes. My children thought I was nuts. I could not believe that Hubby had gone and gotten me the machine I had been secretly hoping for! Luv Him!!!



This puppy came with some really cool extra feet that I hope to get a chance to try and will talk about in a later post but my main objective with this was to use as a coverstitch as I had a serger already.  It does a bang up job too and I thought it was pretty easy to get to know.. Have changed threads multiple times and I found an incredible tutorial that explains how to begin AND end your stitches  http://stitchesandseams.blogspot.com/2001/01/coverstitch-how-to-end-coverstitch.html . This was a life changer.
