I have had a serger since 1994 and recently just bought another one. I used it more than one would think. Great for putting a finished edge along burps cloths, baby receiving blankets,can whip these up in no time. For hemming of jeans is one reason why I bought mine. I also don't like the belt loops that come on some clothes that you tie around your middle, so I rip that out and serge back close.Wala. I also serge around my material that have a raw edge before I wash then it doesn't turn into an unravel mess. All kinds of uses.
