I had a serger that caused me grief for many years and then went shopping and came home with an Imagine Babylock and felt like I had died and gone to serger heaven!! Love it! Just helped a coworker make a quilt out of her hubbys jeans and we did it on the serger. Worked very nicely. I use my serger often and wouldn't want to be without it. Agree with all the ladies there are many uses for a serger.
