Serger ?
#4
I use mine to serge the edges of my quilts before sewing on the binding. Also, I have made many serger QAYG quilts, they are easy and fun. They look like striped quilts and work up quickly. I have an easy pattern with several sizes. If you would like it, just send me a PM.

The local sewing machine shop has classes on using the serger, and some of the classes include quilting. Some people also serge the edges of new yardage before washing. I don't have one and haven't seen a real need for it.

I have never made a quilt with my serger, but it's something I want to try someday.
Here are a couple of links to look at. The first link is to a website with quilt/serger information. The second link is to a video by Nancy Zieman.

I love my serger, I bought it back in 1990 and have sure gotten my money's worth. I serge all seams if I make anything except piecing quilts. But I do serge the edges of fabric before washing. Keeps it from fraying.
I will be picking up another one tonight from a friend. She only wants 25.00 for it. She upgraded. My original one is a Singer Quantum Lock 5 thread. The one I'm getting tonight is a Janome 134d, 4 thread.
