I have a serger and love it. I don't use it for quilt making but I'm sure you could. Clothes making or placemats, tote/purses a lot of things that you want a finished seam. I also like to shorten T-shirts with it. Like a sewing machine you can do many thinngs with it. I'm not sure we need half of the 'things' we have but, we love them anyway!
