i have one of those little springy snippy things too, they are great. i wish i could have an overlocker, but there's really no more room under the bed (that's where the sewing machine lives, and my suitcase when i'm not using it, and the spare blankets and towels, and quite a bit of other stuff...). luckily though, i have a tailor shop on the ground floor of my building, and i'm quite friendly with the two tailors. and *they* have an overlocker.
