I used a serger on the edge of a few quilts years ago. Didn't like it because it added a lot of extra bulk to the edge. Also, I had difficulty keeping the edge perfectly straight while feeding the quilt into the serger.

I know nothing about sergers so I can't help you with whether or not it would work.

Ever since I do glue binding, never any flaws. Like the other one who recommended it. Binding the Angel by Sharon Schamber on youtube. Changed my quilting life. Really.

where are you getting the puckers? on the binding or on the quilt top, or quilt back? on older machines or less expensive ones a walking foot is a different foot that is attached to the needle uptake shaft. and it is usually a bigger, bulky atttachment. newer machines have an extra foot, that just drops down from the back, and attaches to one of the extra feet that came with your machine. yes, it really helps with the feeding in all the layers evenly, but i have still gotten puckers. usually you can just take out several stitches, and work it in. make sure you use safety pins, and pin your borders well. this helps cut down on puckers.

Did no one notice that the questioner is a "hand quilter"?
