Has anyone here purchased a Coverstitch only machine? I have seen several used ones for sale which makes me wonder if people buy them and then don't like them or buy them and don't use them. Do you like your machine? What do you like about your machine and what brand do you have? Was it a good investment and why?

Most people I know buy a serger with the built-in coverstitch. A coverstitch only machine is rather expensive in my opinion and is very limited in what it can do. Happy Stitching!
