When my serger died after 20 years, I was LOST--use it for so much---there are several really good books with lots of tips and projects. If anyone is interested, will get them out and post titles.
I make our washcloths out of old towels, tablecloths, curtains/drapes, window quilts, EASY crazy quilts, make all kinds of gifts and clothing, etc. And I have made many, many quilts with a serger--for hard use, probably not for posterity!
It is in use DAILY!
