I learned to sew on Berninas at BYU and have never gone off the path. It is great at sewing slippry and thick stuff. My serger is also a Bernina, the 1300MDC. I got it for its ability to sew denim so well, because I'm going to be using stretch denim in my clothing line. <br /><br />Hope that helps. All praise Bernina.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197007109855495034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865941540888671176.post-21458110710311016372010-07-21T23:11:20.666-07:002010-07-21T23:11:20.666-07:00What kind of machine do you use?

I'm thinking of buying used so I can get a fancier machine for less. My mom uses a Viking computerized one, but I can't get her to part with it. What do you suggest for someone who wants a longlasting machine that can do light chiffon type fabrics as well as heavy duty denim? I primarily sew bedding/draperies, and am just learning to sew clothing for myself. Plus, my husband is constantly giving me coveralls and jeans to mend. Any advice? I'd love to know what you think, since it's clear you know your stuff. <br /><br />I love the PMW booth. You are so talented. I wish I'd known about you when I got married.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.com
