*Sigh* My kids are killing me, but at least their lists are short. That's what I get for having barely-adult children. LOL Does anyone know where to get cheap but good sergers? (it's like a sewing machine)

They are, at least, cheaper than tablets.
I asked a friend (who operates
a site on sewing ) and she recommended this one, if on a budget:

edit to add: LOL! I now see that the same one someone upstream recommended, based on reviews/ratings alone.

If she could afford it, she'd buy the Juki brand. The more expensive brands can apparently do a variety of decorative stitches (all do knits and delicate fabrics better than a serger attachment, from what I gather; my sewing expertise is limited to fixing a hole in jeans or putting a button back on, I'm afraid).
She also recommends trying some at a local store, if possible (not possible in all areas or when giving a gift, I know); if you go mail-order instead, feel free to use her site (it is an affiliate site), if you don't mind her earning a bit for the advice.
Here is her disclaimer:

I would recommend Allbrands because even though they sell many different products, such as appliances and vacuums, they definitely know about sewing machines and are always there for support. Most manufacturers have a good support team as well.
