Trying out different brands at a large sewing show (when we come out of lockdown) can really help narrow down your options. In the UK a lot of the sewing shops are brand specific. At a Sewing show you can see which features are the ones you want across the different brands, so you may find you want to travel a bit further to buy a model that meets your needs.
Hi Helen, You're sew right! It's always a good idea to compare different machine brands and models for features, performance and price. And the expos are a good way to do that efficiently. All you have to do is walk from one dealer's booth to another on the vendor floor. The pandemic has impacted the supply chain for machines and accessories so we'll have to be more patient as dealers receive stock deliveries that have been slowed down dramatically worldwide. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Air threading is Great!!!! My wife and I purchased a Baby Lock Triumph two years ago. The Triumph is the first serger we ever purchased. Now fast forward to today and two Triumphs later🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. The Triumph is amazing and can not imagine anything else.
Every manufacturer has certain serger models with air threading. This feature makes threading easy and threading is usually the reason sewists don’t use their sergers . Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Congratulations Mary! Let me know if you have questions as you’re learning and I’ll be delighted to hear from you! Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Hi Gail! I always enjoy your informative videos. Currently I have a BabyLock Evolution. I am looking for a backup serger for times when my Evolution is in the shop or when I am serging knits and do not want to keep changing from coverstitch to serging. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on purchasing a backup serger?
Thank you for the information. You didn't mention what brand of serger has the best warranty or what brand you prefer. I've been looking at all the brands that carry the air threader feature for over a year. The prices have been the same and not one dealer is offering a special or additional items with a purchase. All they are saying because of the demand right now for sewing since the Covid lockdown the companies don't need to make a price reduction. One dealer said the prices will be going up soon!

Hi Rosalie, I don't research or compare warranties among the various brands, nor do I identify brands that I prefer, (The videos show you the ones I love to work on.) COVID has changed the landscape of availability of all makes and models of machines as well as accessories. The pandemic created unprecedented demand for sewing machines and sergers and due to lockdowns around the world, the supply chain has been slowed down almost to a halt at factories. And there continues to be pent up demand. (A silver lining of this horrible disease.) Now that vaccinations are allowing things to re-open, that will change. But it will take a while to catch up. Good luck and I hope you find the perfect serger for you! Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips.
@@GailPatriceDesign Please don't think I didn't like your video. I watch them every chance I can. I was just letting you know what information I've been receiving. I do understand the COVID situation had affected all industries. Especially international products. I have your book and I refer to it a lot when I watch other serger tutorials and will review your tutorials to see what machines brand you are using! Pittsburgh, PA
@@rosaliepingree4198 oh Rosalie, I didn’t think you didn’t like the video and I appreciate that you take the time to watch. It’s always beneficial for me to hear what customers around the country are experiencing. A friend of mine wanted a pre-owned serger and not one dealer locally had even one to show her. Who would have ever thought this would have happened? Keep me posted on your quest and thank you for your insight! Stay safe and well. Xo
I have a BERNINA L890 (combo overlock/Coverstitch) and have also had a Babylock Triumph. Both are fantastic machines. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Hi Gail. I enjoy your informative videos. I currently have a BabyLock Evolution. I’ve been researching a backup serger for times when my machine is in the shop or when I do not what to keep converting my machine from serging to the coverstitch, like when I’m sewing various knits. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on a purchasing backup serger?
@@lat64eece The BERNINA L850 or L860 are both fantastic machines. The 860 is computerized and you can save special stitch settings for customized stitches. If those don’t fit your budget the ERNINA 460 is also fabulous and all 3 have a 9mm wide stitch that is beautiful. It creates very bold decorative edges. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks
Hi, The sewing industry in the United States designated April as National Serger Month. Just a fun way to celebrate and offer special deals and prices on sergers. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
A video advertising local dealers, instead of explaining the differences between overlockers. What a waste of time. If everyone could go to a local dealer, what would be the need for you and your video? Pointless.

Are you thinking about an overlock only or dedicated coverstitch machine? Thanks.
@@GailPatriceDesign I am thinking about more about a serger

@@GailPatriceDesign Thank you so much for your thoughts. I’m trying to also decide new or used. I’m planning to go to a dealer next week.
@@lat64eece Keep me posted!
This April thing must be for Americans? Never heard of it before. Seems made up.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Can I answer a question for you? Thanks.
