Now I’m looking to replace it. It’s making some strange sounds, and not sure whether it is worth having repaired or purchasing a new one. I don’t need anything fancy, I love the look of a completed seam.

I’d love to see a demonstration of a ruffler/gathering foot. I know basically how to use it, but I don’t know how to calculate the appropriate rate of gather. For example, if a skirt (people size) measures 65", how do I calculate the gathering rate to fit the skirt to the waist band. The same calculation problem applies to an elastic foot for my serger. How does one determine the ratio of elastic to fabric? For this reason, I have not ever used that foot which came with my serger.
I’d also love to see lots of serger information; there was never any education or lessons attached to the purchase of my machine,
There are so many sewing subjects I’d like more learning and knowledge about. The problem is lack of time for everything!
