I use my serger for binding edges and seam finishes. Makes it look so much nicer than zigzagging the edges and it's quicker, too. I shorten many items for people at work and this makes my job much easier. Not to mention that people are impressed that I can make seams that look like store bought clothing. :-D
Mine is a Babylock that I got when my Singer died (so old that the repairman couldn't get a reverse screw for it). It was on sale for 1/2 price. :-)
