Kenmore 3/4 thread serger

Kenmore Serger Sewing Machine — 

I've had my Kenmore 3/4 serger for going on 20 years now. Love it. 10 years ago I decided to go high-end; bought a 5-thread Husky. Used it for 6 months with enormous frustration and disappointment. Got tired of messing with it one day and swung back to my Kenmore. I was stunned. The stitch was beautiful; the set-up time limited to the thread color change. The Husky was abandoned. Five years ago I tried again. Bernina 5-thread with coverstitch this time. Another bummer. Anything to do with the chainstich/coverstitch looper takes an entire evening to set up--I've yet to get anything near an acceptable coverstitch. The Kenmore is my primary serger. It gives a perfect stitch every time, with any adjustment requiring less than a minute. The lower looper is annoying to thread on the rare occasion you need to do it, but fast nonetheless, so who cares. I came to this site today to see if Kenmore has expanded their serger line. They haven't, too bad. Still, I wouldn't recommend any serger but this--and the price is 1/3 less than it was 20 years ago. Cool. IMHO, you can't go wrong with one of these. It's the serger equivalent the Engegizer Bunny. You couldn't rip mine away from me. Really ~
