I use mine all the time...for clothing. I don't think I have ever used it for quilting. I love mine. It's a little older and simple. I can thread it and have never had a problem with it. Oh, that's a lie, I serge the edge of the quilt before I put the binding on. I just like that it's all enclosed and it cuts off the extra for me at the same time. But I've never used it for piecing. I also serger the edge of loose woven fabrics before I wash them.
