I've had a serger for years and use it often when sewing for the grandchildren. The only time I have used it in quilting is to serge quilt backings together. I learned this when taking a class at my local quilt shop several years ago. When it came time to make the backing, the instructor told us what a beautiful job the serger did, and she was right. It was fast and easy. You cannot tell the back has been serged from the right side of the fabric. The quilt went together beautifully, and when I need to piece fabric to make a backing, I am always so glad I have a serger!
