Thank you for your kind words. (blush, ...Hi Clio! Thank you for your kind words. (blush, blush). I'm glad I'm able to help and enable when I can. :)<BR/><BR/>In regards to your question on the combo serger/coverstitch machines...some folks love it, some folks hate it. Apparently, it takes some time and parts to convert from serger to coverstitch and vice versa. It involves needles, blades, and other parts depending on the model. Folks love it mostly because they have no space for two machines and also a combo may be priced better. So they live with the conversion pain. <BR/><BR/>Others prefer two separate machines (they must have a large sewing area). Nothing to convert...no needles or thread to change out. Two separate machines are always ready to go for their specific tasks. <BR/><BR/>I'm rearranging my sewing room and will have space for a CS machine. I plan on using it to finish (and refinish) my knit tops, topstitching some jackets and future jeans, and use it for my future sewing business. The CS machine (along with a serger) saves a lot of sewing time. Plus, garments look more RTW. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to Debbie's CS FAQ. She's a top notch sewist.2BSewing:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285871411868752125noreply@blogger.com
