You can buy machines that do coverstitch and serge, but sergers themselves only serge. You can turn off the blade and 'sew' that way, but its not like a sewing machine at all.

I would recommend getting a book on serging because there is so much you can do with a serger. I know of one lady who pieces together quilts on her serger.
