My serger gets a workout. There are quilts that I have done where the serger can trim the edge and the bat at the same time. I just finished a QAYG that one of the many techniques I tried on it (a learn new things quilt) was to use the serger to add a boarder row around the quilt. It worked great. I find there are other things that the serger is great for. Mostly in garment sewing but I make a good number of receiving blankets and it is great for that . For me it was a great investment all the way around.
