I have my serger set up all the time for sewing clothing. Its natural for me to serge layers of wovens together for a clean finish. On my first quilt, I serged before adding the binding because it gave me a guideline to use for sewing the binding on and prevented the layers from shifting around. I've continued to do the same thing on subsequent quilts. If you like a puffier binding, I think you could probably loosen the tension on the upper looper and add a strip of batting as you serge.
Oh, and the serger is very fast!
