I have an older Kenmore serger but I think it was made by Janome. Mostly, I use it for fast seaming of the pet blankets I make for the animal shelter. I think almost anyone can use a serger at some time.

There are 2 main types- the serger only and a serger/ coverstitch combination, then there is a cover stitch only. I decided that the less pricey but reliable Janome serger was the one for me. It will do everything I need right now, was not difficult to thread and didn't cost an arm and a leg. As well, attachments are available for piping, ruffling, beading and more. My dealer recommended the Janome as a reliable machine. Oh- do take the classes that are available to you- they will open your eyes to the possibilities.
