I used my serger when I made a blue jean quilt for my grandson and it worked well and sure kept the ravels under control. It probably is a little thicker at the intersecting seams. For quilting I only did horizontal rows of regular stitching across the middle of each block/row. I did have a bit of problem with not all the blocks being the same size, which came from not being accurate with the seam allowance. I would use it again with certain fabrics.
