Just curious, what do quilters use sergers for?

lol Not 5 minutes ago I was wondering the same thing! Will be interested in what others say.

I made a flannel quilt and a denim quilt using the serger. I also finish seams to prewash flannel. I also made a quilt for someone who purchased her own fabrics. One lesson learned. I don't know what one of the fabrics was, but I ended up resewing the seams with the serger because it frayed so terribly.

Some like to serge the sides of their quilt sandwiches, before adding binding.
Finishing the edges of quilted placemats, toppers, etc...
You can make a whole quilt with a serger, Nancy Zieman showed how on one of her programs :D:D:D

I use a serger to make quilt tops that I am going to use a duaval (cover ) for my down conforter. It stops the fraid seams and I can have a quilt top for the comforter. I use mine year round here in west texas. Use to put it away during the summer in Galveston but this weather here is crazy.
I also use the serger to do summer clothers for my grand daughters. Most of the sewing goes real quick on a serger. I have a Rex Overlock and I love it. It is easy to load too.

I use mine for kid's clothing and doing some quilts. They are great machines! I just got my new Brother Serger this week and have been serging all the edges of my quilting fabric before putting it in the wash. They are so worth the money!

I serger the edges before binding. I think the binding is easier to get on and wears better.

Lots of quilters do other sewing too. I have to hem all of my DH pants and it works great to leave a somewhat finished edge. If

As for me ....Not much! everthing in the quilting world can be accomplished with a regular machine. I have one but rarely use it in my quilt projects. When I do its only because I happened to have it out for something else.

I don't use mine for quilting, it's more for sewing clothing and such. I love it though, mine has a LOT of miles on it, but the mileage has slowed down considerably since I started quilting.
