Do I need a serger to sew?
A serger is a "nice to have" but not a necessity for the average seamstress. Sergers are helpful if you are sewing a lot of knit materials but a simple zigzag stitch on your standard sewing machine will do the trick as well. If you are making a large number of clothes and want to finish the seams in a simple, one step process, then yes, a serger is helpful. But, there are many other ways to finish seams on the inside of garments that require less thread and are cleaner finished.
