I used mine for clothing, mainly, it gives you a finished seam like commercial clothing has.Now that I quilt more, I hardly ever use it.It is nice to serge costumes , pot holders. Haven't tried to finish a quilt edge yet. It seems like it would make it easier to apply your binding on a quilt, well, on a potholder it does, something I will have to try! Good luck with your decision. Seems like a fair price.
