One neat thing. When you are sewing something that needs the seams clipped, you sew and the serger does the clipping for you. Ir is also very easy to make a very neat hem on skirts or shirts by serging the edge, turn it up 1/4 inch and stitch close to the edge. Also, when sewing with knits, I serge the hem edge and turn it up however much, Like 1 " to 1/1/4 like boughten shirts and use a double needle to sew the hem. It looks just like ones bought at the store.
