A couple years ago I sold my serger, embroidery machine and a camera in order to buy my current camera. I decided the other day I needed a serger again.

I checked Craigs list and saw an amazing ancient ass solid metal, table mounted, iron peddle serger. I didn’t get it. The lady selling it said it may need a belt and had never used it (she bought it for her business and didn’t have room for it) and I had to turn it down. Crazy disappointing, but it let me to a used machine at a Vac & Sew repair place. So I called and they were closed and I left a message.

wait. wait. wait.

So we’re in JoAnn Fabric this morning buying some fabric and notions and I get a call from the guy so we schlep up to Boca to check it out.

I came home with a Kenmore serger for 150$ (it’s an older model, but it’s currently 230$ new) with a metal peddlepedal. I haven’t had a proper metal peddlepedal on a sewing machine in years.

The guy said it was clean and lubed and better than new. He let me give it a try there, so I saw it finish and cut about an inch and it looked fab. I am super excited
