Like so many others have said.... I don't really use my serger for quilting. I do use it for other things..... made a Christmas stocking for my new puppy in about 15 minutes..... fixed a sweater that was too wide at the hips.... use it for shortening skirts and tops..... not a lot else. I love it when I need it.... just don't need it that often. If I hadn't had it given to me I wouldn't have purchased it.
