Ladies, I would be lost without my serger :( :-)
It sits open and I love using it to serge quilt pieces. :-)
I set up my little blocks up and serge away
When your block is done you can line them up so easy to make your rows.
I have yet to have a square not be square and boy how fast the rows sew up for a quilt of any size.
Not everything can be done on the serger but for anything straight it can't be beat.
I first used it when a lady taught us to make a log cabin square that she had made using them for a table cloth.
If you are not comfortable sewing with the serger , take a class or have a friend spend a few hours with you who does know how to use one.
I bought mine after I quit sewing clothes. I use it more than I thought I would. Many times they even come in handy for mending.
Please learn to use it and don't let dust collect on it. It can be a very valuable tool. You will be amazed how much you will use it. :( :(
