I am on my second serger (this one self-threading) and I love it. I serge flannel receiving blankets for Project Linus, plus I have made napkins, coasters,table cloths, placemats, baked potato bags, and serged edges on towels that were starting to ravel. There are many good books with nice projects you can do with a serger, or, go online and research projects with a serger. Sergers are wonderful, if you use them.
