Simple clothes, and repairing old towels and washcloths that have started to fray at the edges.

Not a dang thing!!

My serger, hidden in the attic, is the most expensive paperweight I've ever bought.

Summer capris and cotton skirts, placemats and napkins, finish edge for hemming pants before machine stitching, doll clothes, repairing tears in ready-mades. I don't use it for quilting; too much thread for my taste. I love my serger--it's 14 years old, mechanical rather than computerized and comes with cards that tell you how to set up for each stitch, with tension, stitch length and all. It is a moderately priced, does 2-3-4 threads, rolled edge, differential feed. No cover stitch or wave. It runs very smoothly. It's an Elna 634; I don't think they make them anymore, But I have seen ones similar at the dealer.

I have men in my family and I'm forever cutting pants shorter or Making shorts from pants that are too short to be long LOL. I have to hem my pants also. They are always too long. Great grandkids clothes always need to be fixed.
