Hey!! I have a White too- lots of fun little technical problems-- i've given up all hope of ever being able to adjust the thread tension to get certain effects.
I would love a serger, but those 3-4 big spools of thread are very intimidating, as is the little scissor doo dad. When my sewing machine jams, I know how to fix it. I get a lot of satisfaction when I apply oil and clean out all the dust and the thing runs smoothly for an afternoon. But with the serger, if things got tangled up, I'd be in big trouble.
I think I want my next machine to be a viking or some european brand. something with a more reliable thread tension thingie.
I dont use it much right now, but I made all my curtains and tablecloths, and a few garments in the last year.
