I found a great article by Maris Olsen on Craftsy.com where she describes why she loves her serger:
"It was the machine that enabled me to accomplish ANY sewing at all. Sergers are FAST. With a serger, you can quickly repair torn seams, make a pair of PJs for a growing-too-fast child, or whip up a quick gift for any occasion."

Maris shares helpful tips and advice for what kind of serger to buy, plus she highlights eight different stitches, four of which she says she can't live without.
Craftsy also offers two online classes on serger sewing:

Vernelle Nelson talks about her top 5 favorite serger machines for 2014 — based on affordability, user-friendliness, stitch quality, as well as noise and vibration levels. The Review Squad also listed their choices for the top 3 sergers for beginners.
A serger is an investment for sure, but if you're ready to kick your sewing up to the next level, I suspect you'll pay for it in no time with all the money you'll save from making your own fashionable wardrobe!
Stay tuned — next Wednesday we'll be sharing some fabulous and creative embroidery patterns!
