A new friend

A few weeks ago I received a great package in the mail.....a friend for my sewing machine!  I finally received my serger that had been backordered for months. Don't they look good together?

I decided to try out the low budget Magnolia serger that Janome makes. I was able to purchase it for less than $200 and it shipped for free. That price is hard to beat. So far it seems to be fine for what I need.

So far I have only used it to finish seams but haven't used it to sew knits or anything else yet. I wanted to be able to sew knits more easily and be able to finish of the seams in my garments more professionally.

I was thrilled to see the nice edge on this little scrap on my first test drive.
