???!!! Really? Doesn't that sort of pile the stitch
right on top of each other? ;-> (I know you meant
stitches
per minute.)

I haz the tired, after hand stitching half a wedding gown
hem: silk dupion with horsehair braid in it.

Yeah, my bad, I suspected as much, I should have left it
alone, sorry! :-} Have fun with the other half of the hem,
AFTER you get some rest.

I run my sergers as fast as they will go. ;-) The old
Bernette really whizzes, the Huskylock 936 is much
slower even at the fastest setting.<shrug>

My 910 was very fast. The Bernina is too. The Brother
is slower, and the only Bernette I ever used didn't get
to be too fast before it shimmied off the table into my
lap!

How strange. I love the little Bernette, it goes like
greased lightening and does not vibrate or "walk" at all. I
also like that the cutting blade is so much closer to the
needle, so I can do curves with much more precision.

The Huskylock 936 on the other hand, is slooow at its
fastest setting, and vibrates *a lot*. It would leave the
room if it could get away with it. Maybe it needs
servicing, although it's only 5 years old, and it has been
this way since it was brand new.
