I made cloths long before I ever quilted. I love my serger. I think I made most of my daughters cloths on it. T-shirts are quick and easy. It even does 1/4" seam allowances, which works great if your making a crazy quilt with a fabric that frays. Yes, you have to change to a regular machine for buttonholes and other things but I thought it one of my better buys.

Never could really figure out how to thread it unless I was following the video, though I did use it one time to make a jacket of vintage barkcloth with antique buttons. But eventually, through divorce, moves, updating equipment, I lost the ability to watch video cassettes. It has became the most expensive paper weight I've ever owned.
