I use mine a lot for Apparel sewing ONLY.

I have used a serger for 18 yrs. Always finding things to use it with. I serge around a lot of baby blankets for one thing. Mend seems on clothing, make bibs. All kinds of things, wouldn't be without one! Sure is great to serge the raw edge of material before you throw in the washer, keeps it from raveling everywhere. I am learning to make baby clothes using cotton knits. Can't wait to learn more things, be interesting to see what others post!

My serger is used a lot but not for quilting. I use it for garment construction (I just like the finished seams), rolled hems, etc. There are times when I wonder why I ever bought a sewing machine (that is when I'm making clothes) and then I wonder why I have a serger when I am quilting. I think I'll keep both.

I mostly use my serger in garment construction, and hems. It's good to finish seams on denim shirts and fabrics that ravel. I've also used it to stich around edges of fabric before prewashing to prevent raveling.

I did use it to serge silk squares together to make a quilt for my mom. It sure made sewing the silk much easier. If I have old towels that are raggedy, I cut them up and serge around them. Makes good rags, washcloths, and dish towels.

I like my serger so well, in fact I have two!

I used mine to make my girls leotards when they were in gymnastics (many moons ago!). I also made all our t-shirts and sweat shirts. I haven't used the machine much since the girls have all grown up. I need to get it out and make some more sweat shirts for me! Winter is here!

I also use it to sew around the cushion seams to neaten them as well as clothes I fix or make for myself.

What an interesting finish on your blocks. I like it.

I bought a brand new Singer serger (I know it's not the best of quality) at a garage sale for $50. It has sat in my cupboard unused for almost two years so I passed it on to my MIL a month ago. I haven't needed one for quilting, but I can see the need for one when making clothing. I would check craigslist for a serger because there seems to be quite a few nice ones listed right not, at least in my area.

I sold mine after a year, used it once, saw no need for it
