- by n/a
I've owned my MX3123 for 2 years now, and I've used it a lot. I'm a quilter and I machine piece nearly every day for a few hours, and while the features on the machine are great, it just isn't up to the test.

Serger Basics: Serger Selection
- by n/a
Sergers are changing the concept of home sewing. Sergers, also called overlock machines, produce professional factory-like stitches similar to those seen in ready-to-wear garments. In addition, sergers are tremendous time-savers for home sewers. Sergers sew about two to three times faster than traditional machines, and they can replace three operations with one step by sewing, cutting, and overcasting a seam simultaneously.

What To Know When Buying A Serger
- by n/a
A serger will not replace your conventional sewing machine. For instance, a serger is not capable of making buttonholes, installing zippers or topstitching. A serger is handy, particularly for sewing things such as T-shirts, sweatsuits and children's wear; however, it is not necessary to have one in order to sew.
