"PS. It cost $1,000. new in 1976. That's still a lot of $$$ for me!"

"I had one, really two of these! I LOVED that machine. Wound the bobbin while still in the case! I used it for clothes, slipcovers, and all but the heaviest upholstery. The second one I bought at a flea market for $8.00. And, yes, it had been dropped! More than once!"

"wow......... this turned out so beautifully - love the colors"

"I only noticed the coverstitch chain stitch because I recently got a used Baby Lock Evolve Serger! I found the Baby Lock Imagine Wave & Baby Lock Blind Hemmer for the $250 on Craig's List. I gave her $260! I sold the Imagine Wave on eBay for $1515 & bought the Evolve for $875, & the extra bag with 16 feet & attachments for $275! I am SO EXCITED! The Evolve does all the Imagine stitches except the wave, but it also has single cover/chain stitch, double & triple chain stitch safety stitch+ tons MORE stitches!"

"Did you notice that the topstitching is all sewn with a coverstich? It is a chain stitch instead of a lock stitch! I had never noticed that about jeans before, so I really appreciate you bringing it to my notice with your thorough examination of the original pair of jeans, & your taking the time to photograph it in detail, to help with understanding the details that are necessary to know in order to sew a similar pair of jeans! Thank you!"
