I’ve had this machine for over 5 years. I love it more than my sewing machine. It handles everything I throw at it…fleece, cotton, knits. It’s made sewing knits so much easier. This price is about $20 less than regular retail. I’d be tempted to get a second just to have one that is strictly used for rolled hems and the other for general sewing. Sometimes I wish I had an air threader, because threading this takes patience and you have to do it in order (like all sergers). However for the price of an air threader, I could buy two or three of these machines.

If you’ll watch Amazon they occasionally have it cheaper (way cheaper) I even saw it for $169 last year during Black Friday/month.
Usually around $189 and that’s for a brand new one.
I bought one on Craigslist that was still in the sealed box for $75. (I have several machines and wanted a second serger)
I can’t believe woot is selling it for so much more!!
This is a great serger, but I feel like it goes on sale enough that you could find a better deal. I purchased it from Amazon on Black Friday a few years ago for $161.
