I don't use my serger for quilting as it adds too much bulk in a seam. Although there are some cute made for serger patterns out there. I used to make a lot of my kids clothes and for that a serger is a must. I hadn't used it for about 8 years up until I recently made my daughter's prom dress. Without the serger I would have been sunk! The fabric was a brocade and super ravely.
