Mother has both and they look pretty much the same to me. Sorry to sound so ignorant

Ellise you aren't ignorant at all, I didn't know myself until I saw one. This is a description I found on the web, hope it helps to explain it better than I can. LOL

Serger

A type of sewing machine that stitches the seam, encases the seam with thread, and cuts off excess fabric at the same time. These are used for construction of garments with knit fabrics mostly, or to finish seams of any fabric. Some sergers are combination overlock and serger machines. They do not, though, do the locking stitch that a regular sewing machine does.

Thanks for explaining. So, unless one is going to make alot of clothing, they don't really need a serger. ??

Honestly Car, I use mine for just about everything, but you know me, I'm anal, I like things very neat even crafts!

But yes, when I first got mine many years ago, I was making clothing left and right and mainly dealing with knits. That was when leggings were very popular.
