Boy am I glad this topic came up! I too have a Babylock serger I bought from a girlfriend at her moving sale SIX years ago and have only taken it out of the box once to look at it when I brought it home. To be honest, all these years I have been wondering what in the world was I thinking? What would I ever need a serger for? Then I would start feeling bad because it was just an impulse buy. I don't sew much of anything but quilts now-and hem a few pants. I used to sew all the kids clothes, husbands shirts and all my skirts and blouses. Then they grew up and left the nest and just recently married so we don't have any grandchildren yet to make neat stuff for. You all have given me some great ideas now and I may take it out of the box for real and play awhile. Maybe make some napkins or something. I have to learn to use it first......
