I preferred the quilt with the binding because I think it would wear better, and the edge was "cleaner".
The Evolution is a great serger. I have the Evolve that I bought years ago, and I couldn't believe how quiet the Evolution was. I even asked the educator about it. She said that yes Babylock made improvements to the serger to make it hum. If you are considering buying a serger, Babylock is the only way to go in my opinion. So many serger owners don't use their sergers because they are a pain in the neck to thread, and they have tension problems. Babylocks air-threading and auto-tension can't be beat.
