   Check your handbook or ask the dealer.  I use them in my Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 936 and it works great.  Some sergers will only take specific needles.  Mary

   What kind of serging do you like to do?  What kind of serger doyou have?  I love to do alot of crazy creative things with the serger.  I couldn't manage without it anymore!  Mary

   hi, it's a kenmore 385.16677. the main reason for the purchase was to have better looking results when i make knit/stretchy things. i wanted a better look, just trying to step up my game. my stuff is great and you can't tell if it's home made or RTW. didn't want to hand trim/pink seams. wanted one and done!!!! thanks!

   I use my serger more often than my sewing machine it seems.  I bought mine for knits and seam finishes too, but then discovered a whole new world of fiber arts.  So glad to hear that you are happy with it.  Have you tried wooly nylon in the loopers yet?  It gives a different hand, you have to loosen the tension of course.  There is also a very soft serger yarn that is nice on edges of baby items, soft knits, and sleepwear,  it's YLI Success Serging Yarn. 

   I'd love to see some of your work, I imagine it is quite wonderful for your clients to have someone like you who cares about quality workmanship!  Mary

   oops!  sorry!  I have a toolbox full of jewelry findings but rarely work with it because it's hard with arthritis in my hands.  I dabble with it just a bit.
