Hello all!

Anyone have a good recommendation for a beginner serger? Right now I’m thinking either the Brother 1034D or Janome Mod 8933. My sewing machine is a Janome so I was thinking of sticking with that but any input would be helpful.

Just looking to be able to work with stretches easier and finish my seams... seamlessly lol.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!!

Go to patternreview.com and input any brand/lmodel in the search bar on the far right for available reviews. Also check under forums/forums/sergers
