It's faster than a sewing machine, but it creates thicker seams that show up more on the right side AND they're much harder to quilt through. Might be ok if you're planning to machine quilt. I tried it ONCE!

Sondray,
Thanks for those web sites. I looked at all of them.
I don't like to wash my fabric first because of the fraying but I think if you serged all the edges first and then just pull out the staight stich and the rest of the thread will fall right off. That way you'd have no fraying. I should start doing that because what ever chemicals are on the fabric some times make me have asthma attacks.
