Overlocker advice/suggestions please!

[MyRealNameIsBarbara]

I want to buy an overlocker, I have about £200.... what should I get? Looking at this one which has good reviews - any thoughts?

Thank you!

I don't know about individual models but you would be much better off buying from somewhere like here:
www.sewmachines.co.uk/categories/?id=2

They only sell sewing machines/overlockers and have a really good reputation (bought mine from there). Their own badged machines are really well thought of.

The best thing is that you get a decent guarantee and that they are on the end of the phone to help you out if you get stuck. You don't get that with somewhere like Amazon.

I have never heard a bad review.

I have just bought that same model this week from the website lavender linked to. The overlocker itself is very compact but it's brilliant! I can't recommend it highly enough. Very easy to use and has lots of functions. I was going to buy from Amazon but the sewing machines direct place had it for the same price with free next day delivery, and a pack with 12 reels of thread and loads of different scissors for an extra £10 which was totally worth it. It would have cost a lot more to buy the thread on top if I'd bought from Amazon.
