Love a serger for things like totebags, home dec items. Have not used it for piecing, just not sure about the amount of thread it would put into a quilt. I do make some quickie baby blankets, put two squares of flannel RST, serger around it leaving an opening for turning. I stitch on my DSM about 1" from edge all the way around. very washable (I prewash flannel) and no one is worried about ruining a "good" quilt.
