I don't use my serger for quilting, but it's great if you make clothing & other items. I use to make all my hubby's western dress shirts he wore to work, did them all by machine, between my regular machine & my serger. So, if you sew otherwise, they are great, & great to have! I have a Babylock one, & have had it for a few years now. It's one where air lines blow the bottom threads, to do the threading for you, & I love it!
