|~ Dear Serger,

Where have you been in these 5 years I've been sewing? Why did no one ever tell me that you were as wonderful as you are? Surely others find you as enchanting as I do. 

We're still in the honeymoon stage, you and me. We're getting to know one another and spending every spare moment together. When we're apart, I can't stop thinking of you. [for reals, folks. It's frankly rather annoying] 

Why did I not just take the plunge and buy you 3 years ago? I was naive.

 Thank goodness for free 2-day shipping. Although I could sleep before you arrived at my door, now I lay awake at night thinking about you and all your amazing qualities. And planning our life together. 

We're a big happy family now. You, me, and my first love, The Singer. 

 I hope you don't mind the cultural boundaries I crossed by buying you instead of a Singer. I'm not dogmatic about brands. And you came highly recommended. I knew we were perfect for each other.

If someone had told me 3 years ago when I started saying, "I think I'm gonna buy a serger soon..." that the day you finally arrived I would be at the end of a field fixing a tractor and when I saw you coming would hike up my long denim skirt and go running across said field to be able to take you from the kind FedEx lady, I would have rolled on the floor in laughter. You were worth the jog and I was thankful you don't mind a girl who sometimes forgets to wash the grease off her hands.

Thank you for allowing me to change your multi-colored thread to something more neutral with ease.

Thank you for coming into my life with relatively little expense.

Please don't ever leave me. I love you, Brother 1034D.

Sincerely and affectionately,
