I have never had a serger before but I recently got an embroidery machine and it seems like a serger would go well with the projects I embroider. Like towel, tableclothes, etc. Do any of you use a serger to do quilting? I don't know if I really need a serger so I'm asking your opinion on how you use your serger. Thanks for your help.

I have used my serger primarily for making knit clothing (especially children's clothes) and for hemming curtains and drapes. That's about it.
|
Serging seams would make them more bulky for quilting, but I can see a lot of benefits for embroidery work. Napkins, resewing knit seams, etc... :D:D:D
|
I don't!!!!
|
I use mine on the edge of fabric when I buy it, then throw it in the washer. Doing that eliminates unraveling. I also use it in clothing construction for a prettier finished look.
|
hate to say I don't use mine either...never got good at the tension issues!
|
i always used mine for making clothes from kints only had a 3 spool and now i have a 4 spool but haven't used it yet

I used mine for one quilt. I may use it again - it was a lot of fun to do. However, I mostly use it on knits to make quick diapers and clothes for my baby!
At the end of the day, I wish I had spent the money on a really nice, new regular sewing machine instead. |
