I killed it ....

after many weeks of mad sewing for Camp, my serger bit it about 10 minutes
ago. Fortunately, I had just finished my beautiful see-through chemise.....unfortunately
I still have a couple more things I want to make *sigh*

And, of course, the remaining question -- is it cheaper to get it fixed, or replace it?

Broke how? Broke like engine not going, or broke like engine going but needles all out of whack?

I would guess you could take it to a shop and ask for an estimate. If it's a serger I can't imagine it would be cheaper to buy a new one. While the repair work is probably great, the bloody things cost a forture.

it may cost you ~$100 to fix... but it will cost you *several* hundred to replace.

go for an estimate. trust me.

Crapcrapcrap....can't hurt to get an estimate - may wind up being cheaper.

Missed you at AWP...

Well, of course, your see-through chemise will be beautiful, you'll be in it right? ;-)

FWIW, I'd been told that with sewing machine and serger repairs it all depends on who's doing it. Get some good recommendations and give it a try.

Me, oh my, I recall how pleased you were when you first got that beastie.
