I have a Singer that I bought about 15 years ago. Only used it maybe twice & that was for a little practice. I don't know much about a serger. I know it finishes raw edges & that's about the extent of my knowledge. I'm sure if I would just take the time to practice with it, research the different things about sergers that I would probably like it a lot . I did buy a 2 books but I need to sit down & study.
