When I purchased my serger about 8 years ago, I was not sure I'd ever use it. Now I can't sew without my serger. Like Quilter7x, I serge the edges of fabric as soon as I get the fabric home. Serged edges make washing the fabric much easier. That's the closest I come to using my serger for quilting. I couldn't do without it when making knit clothing, e.g., turtle neck shirts for my granddaughter. When constructing garments, I use the serger to finish seams, make rolled hems, etc. Once you start using your serger, you'll find many uses for it. Congratulations on your new serger!
