Serger

Hello, I am a new sewer I been practicing on and off for a couple of years.

Two years agofor christmas I got a brand new sewing machine and a new serger,I love them! but I feel intimated by the serger its still in the box sealed I have not tried to work with it. My question: Is it good or nesscary to have a sewing machine and serger too? I really can't wait to follow and learn how to use the serger although, I am still learning how to use my sewing machine now that I have my home I have way more space i can sew plenty if I deired.

If anyone has a serger drop me a line and let me know if its good to have both
machines to work side by side. Is it a good combo and which is better to use.

Any reply welcome,thanks to all replies

Re: Serger

When I got my serger I was scared to use it too. My Mom showed me how to use it since she had one too. Your best bet is to take it to someone elce who uses one too, or take it to the store you bought it from and ask them to show you how to use it. If you don't know anyone who sews then call your locl girl scouts or 4H program. Churches are also a great way to find people who sew. 

A serger is awesome for finishing seams. I use mine all the time for sewing garments and all sorts of items. I'd also recommend looking online for serger videos. Serger books too.

Good luck!
