seriously, I would love an overlocker, I reckon me and miss seagoon would get so much use out of it even if to just mend clothes

They can be great, but you can do pretty much everything with a normal sewing machine too.

Aldi have them occasionally and they're not bad.

I got a Singer tiny serger off eBay years ago. It doesn’t have the built in cutter - you have to trim things first. But it was more affordable and takes less space than a full sized overlocker.

Edit: They seem to be much more expensive and less available now but maybe there are still mini alternatives
