I use mine pretty frequently. I serge the edges of fabric before I wash it to keep strings out of the pump of my washer and our septic tank, I use it for inserting zippers, making receiving blankets, and I do a lot of odd request home decor. I just bought a used Juki off Ebay for heavier fabric I am going to be working with on a project. I love my serger and if it dies I will buy a new one immediately. Mine is a Janome built Kenmore. A small serger compared to some, but it has been a true workhorse.
