hehe...sergers do tend to win a lot. I nearly got my mom's very nice serger because she couldn't win with it and then I showed her a few tricks. She started to win then and decided to keep it. So I had to buy my own but I do like it better than hers so it's all good. =)

Did you get an introductory class? They're sometimes helpful. And even though I'm nowhere near you, I might be able to help. Email if you have questions.
