I use it to make wash cloths out of old towels ...just cut the good part of the towel in squares and serge around the edges...aslo sometimes towels get frayed along the edge..I just serge the edge and they are good as new
also great for edging receiving blankets for baby showers. I get 45" of good flanelette and make a 43" square and serge around the edges in a matching or contrasting color and there you have alovely LARGE recieving blanket. The ones that you buy are all about 36" I've got alot of compliments about the size...I would be lost without my serger
