I have a great serger, my aunt gave it to me many years ago, when she bought it, it was top of the line.. I love it. I use it to piece together my quilts blocks.. Works great.. I use my regular sewing machine to do the quilting and sewing the rows together.. I could see how it would be hard to use on smaller pieces of fabric. I have a 1/4" seam on it and it trims off the execess..
