I have a serger which I used for years to make the g-kids their PJ's, each had to have 7 sets in the spring and another 7 sets in the fall and with 11 grandkids it took a lot of fast sewing. The serger worked wonders on putting them together fast (assembly line style) and adding the ribbing. I did make a baby quilt with it once but found the seams to be a little bulkier than I liked so stopped using it for quilting. Now I use it once in a while to re-bind towels, sheets, etc. I do like the idea of using it to serge the edges before washing. Hadn't thought of that but sounds better than cutting a wedge out of the corners as was always suggested before washing to stop raveling.
