I have a Babylock serger, it's so nice and easy to thread compared to the older models. It has Jet Air threading for the loopers and it self adjusts the tensions. It was also very expensive compared some that are $300.-$400. dollar range. I use it for many things, receiving blankets, baby bibs, pillowcases and other items for charity. I also serge the edges of my fabrics before I wash them, I wash all my fabrics before using them. I have made terry cloth robes, men's shower wraps. I use it when I have old towels and I cut them down for rags or shelter pads. Having nice serged edges so the fabric doesn't fray is really nice. I also use it for clothing, hemming and I do make PJ pants, napkins and other home dec items.
