I use my serger a lot for putting together very simple quilts. I do only use 3 threads, and I iron all. I find that the seams are not that bulky. I would never suggest using the serger for a very intricate quilt because it is very hard to match seams. I have never put together a puff quilt but I have seen them, and I think a serger would work good. I love using the serger on quilts I know are going to be used for children and babies, since they will be washed alot and the serger will keep the seams from raveling.

I love my serger, it makes some nice quilt tops, its great when making a log cabin. It works nice, if your just making a tablecloth, all the seams are finished in back,

I love my serger, but my advice would be not to spend a lot of money on one because it's not something you use everyday.

I purchased a new Elna 14 years ago and paid $1600.00 for it, and now I regret paying so much for it.

Get a good used one.

Hi MerryQuilter,
Is it a 4-thread? How much?

I've had Kenmore sergers for over 12 years. Burned-up motors in 2 of them. I recently tried a Brother, which I didn't like at all. And then "test-drove" both a Juki and a Babylock. Threading is not an issue. I never had a problem threading the Kenmore's. But, what I really liked about the BL is the fact that you don't have to adjust the tensions. Now, that's what I have a problem with. But, the price is way over my budget.

my mother has an old babylock is she says is the best. my sister gave her a new one and it is a piece of junk. She makes her quilts with a serger so she doesn't have very thick seams. she uses a lot of polyester for the quilts she makes.

Sorry just saw this, it is model 103n, bought new maybe 20 years ago, sadly never used. Would only ask 50$ plus shipping.
