My first serger is a singer 1440. It joins with its manual and me to thread it; but, once threaded, it serges like a champ. I was part of a group sewing for various drum corps. The 1440 traveled on busses and "worked" wherever the bus stopped. One season it joined me in replacing the lapels on over 100 uniforms - satin over sequins, satin stitching around the edges. Lots of replaced/sharpened and resharpened knives. A serious joy.

That serger is set up in my sewing room (white thread) right next to the top of the like old top of the line Husqvarna that I bought a long while back (black thread). This one has lots of nifty features and now that we have a granddaughter they will probably get used more often. Right after I get a pile of little girl jeans and t-shirts created.

I have a friend with one of the first Baby Locks and will bring your thread to her attention. Thanks for starting it.
