I've heard Juki's are good, but are they worth the hefty price tag? I'm going to use it for edging costumes only, so probably don't need a lot of fancy stitches.
I love Jukis, despite the price. I've used them in two academic shops so far, and they are fab! The shop I'm in now had two sergers, one Singer and one other (White, maybe?) that were relatively new but always choking up, sucking trimmed-off edges back in, breaking threads, and losing stitches. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when we got the Juki. I've had my personal Juki for 15 years and have never once had a problem with it. It will chomp through a ridiculous number of layers (when I was a professional cutter/draper, I once brought home a costume that the sergers at work couldn't handle).
