I had a husqvarna serger and hated it! It was a major operation to thread it, get the tension right, use it, then change everything to another stitch including the plates. The best thing I did was trade it for a janome. Threading is really easy, you get it right the first time. Works like a dream. Yes, I've made a quilt with my serger too. The fabric was ravely and the serger took care of that.
