A big, scary, thread sucking Christmas gift for me. I'm not sure if I am ready for this kind of machine...

Serger. I tried and failed. Then tried again. Failed, and broke 2 threads. After an hour of rethreading, I was to the point where I could actually turn it on. Then came the fabric. After much intimidation, I am so SUPER excited!! In no time at all I had a pile of 20 washcloths! Some flannel, terry, and yummy velour.
