Vintage Bernette serger

Scored a serger from 1985 at an estate sale! What originally caught my eye was a Bernina 930, but I got there ten minutes after the sale opened and it was already claimed. I'm not too sad about that, I asked what they had sold it for and it was more than I wanted to pay anyways.

I've never had a serger before, and it took me HOURS to figure out the tension etc- had to adjust some things I was afraid to adjust. Metaphor for life and self improvement?

It came with the original manual, a few bits and bobs (like a super thin plastic cover and the tweezers that fit in a little slot in the machine), and a leaflet about sergers the original owner dated 'December 14, '85' and the box with the bottom styrofoam. I love the connection to the previous owner. It also came with a rolled hem foot and plate I haven't tried yet. It's only a one needle, three thread machine and I can't disengage the knife or do a differential feed. It is is pretty easy to thread though, not as bad as I thought it would be. So far I've made a little pillowcase and lots of scrunchies (working through an old pre-mask-era stash of elastic). I'd welcome any beginner serger project ideas!
