Let me ask this a different way.
If one had a
only a serger could they make gear with it or would you have to have a regular thread injector as well?
I have been told they excel at stretchy fabrics of which we only use a few (and can make do with on a normal machine) and from another that they are really just for edges that fray of which I'm not sure we mess too much with???
I get the impression the two machines are almost always used the way a construction professional would use two power drills. One setup for screws, and the other for the pilot holes even though they could really do the same job if you wanted to take the time to change setups for every hole or job.
Compare that to say a set of pitchforks and a shovel, they are kind of similar but not really interchangeable at all.
Or maybe I'm way off base?
