You should stop by a shop and demo a serger. It really depends on how much you sew. I do more clothing than I do quilting, so for me, it's a huge time saver. But, I know people that own one and never use it. My sewing machine is on my left, the serger is on the right. I use both of them all of the time. It really depends on the project. ;-)
I know................clear as mud! I own several size irons too! Different ones for different things, same principal!
Alright, besides the cutting function, how is it different than an overcast stitch on a sewing machine?
