I have a serger and love it. I haven't did a quilt yet but yesterday when I took my sofa cushions off to wash, I noticed they were fraying alot so I took them all to the serger to finish before I washed them. I was surprised because it wasn't a cheap set. My friend serges her quilt as a sign that they are done, waiting to be bound. Nancy Z. has a book about making quilts with the serger. I'm taking a class next week doing this at my local sew n vac. This past week we made a heirloom nightgown all on the serger. It was great doing insertion lace. You can get a serger in any price range but I wouldn't go to high unless you wanted to use it alot. I have the top of the line Brother and so far have made a jacket, 10 min table runner, nightgown, serged my cushions and I've only owned it a few months.
