I was told by staff at Aldi that they have sold heaps of these overlockers and hardly ever had any returned!!!!

I got one I also went to my local fabric store to pick up some stuff for a project and spoke to the lady there about overlocker threads and what i need etc and she said her work colleague who was there and I spoke to also, had paid $600 for the Janome overlocker that is almost identical and she could have sworn it was Janome made. She is spewing she paid so much for something that looks the same LOL I told her yep it is....Janome make them for Aldi apparently.

Hipmummy - I'm too tired today but will be opening mine up tomorrow I think - will let you know how it goes!

I just can't justify spending more than that on an overlocker when I wouldn't use it daily like others might.....if I was an expert sewer and used it all the time then yeah I'd pay more for one.....

ps it was only $169!!
