25 years ago I made my little daughter a puffy quilt and I used my serger to finish it off. The quilt had a jungle theme and it had a bright pink in it. I disengaged the knife, used a wooly nylon thread in the lower looper, used a satin stitch and went all around the edges. I did this twice for a unique, different kind of finish. She got lots of wonderful comments about her blanket. I will now redo the edge for her little one. Try it, it works and looks great. Just be sure to use wooly nylon thread, it spread out and fills in gaps and use a satin stitch length.
