Why do I need a serger?
#11
My serger also is mostly used for garment or linen sewing. I have used it to secure the edges of a quilt sandwich before binding on a quilt that I was sure was going to see alot of heavy use and washing. If your sewing is primarily quilting I am not sure that you would find it all that useful unless you find a lightly used one at a really good price.

I've had one for years and have nothing but trouble with it. On the rare occasion when it did work, it was great for curtains and clothing. I probably won't get another, but if I did, it would be a self threading one.

You only need one if you do garment sewing and then it is if you really truly want one. I, like many others, garment sewed for many, many years without one. Mine sits on a shelf, collecting dust as I rarely do any garment sewing anymore.

Well, you all convinced me that I really don't need one as 99 percent of my time is spent quilting with only some occaisional forays into valances or skirts. Thanks for all your comments.
