Teen: I go through stages of using my serger. If I plan to wash yardage, I will serge the cut ends of the fabric to keep them from fraying and tangling. I had my DMIL’s very old serger to begin with but I just couldn’t keep the tension correct on it. I also use a serger on burp cloths, receiving blankets, and flannel quilts/play mats. (Two pieces of flannel with batting in the middle.).
Claire and cannyquilter: Great starts to organization!
