I am on the hunt for a Serger, my friend has had one for many years the Janome, My Lock 134D and she has been very very happy with her machine. I heard Janome is a very good brand. I would love one that is self threading. I am looking at this one so far. Janome MyLock 634D Overlock Serger, with Self Threading, any one have any reviews on this machine or reviews on other type of Sergers that are good to, all help will be appreciated! Hugs Maggie

Morning Phenonip is a preservative and Polysorbate 80 is used to mix the oils with water like an emulsifier. HTH's Hugs Maggie
