I am tempted to try this but I am a serger newbie and somewhat nervous. After all the work on a quilt, I don't want to mess anything up at the end of that sometimes long road.
I sometimes do a very loose slip stitch all around a sandwich to keep the fabrics stable to do binding. A serger might serve the same purpose.
