I have a Husqvarna serger and have used it regularly for the past 5 years. In quilting, I only use it to finish off the edges before applying the binding - I like the way it evens out all the edges and compresses the sides for easy application of the binding.

I have a White ATS 4 thread serger. Once I got the hang of threading it, I loved it. Although I use it more for clothing and craft construction instead of quilting, I have made a split rail with it and liked that it was finished without any hand quilting. I think the trick with a serger is to keep it handy for quick use.

Now I use my serger to make quilted bags as it makes the seams on the inside so neat. I love my serger and use it a lot .

I use a Bernina 1100AD to make so many beautiful projects including a bowtie quilt, heirloom pillow cases, makeup bags, silk Christmas stockings, Serger cover, and more using the various feet that come with the Serger. I am in a Serger Club at my LQS with a wonderful instructor. While the Bernina takes a little more time threading, the stitch quality and durability is worth the money. There are many used sergers for sale by dealers. I was so afraid of the serger that it took a while for me to actually start sewing with it, but this club has helped me see what I can do with the serger. Good luck finding one and many happy hours of sewing.
