I did a quilt, two of them from a pattern in a book on serging, and it used the jelly roll, even though I cut my own stips. First of all, it'll hold up really nicely. It lays pretty flat. I'm going to use my Sashiko to quilt them. Nancy Zieman has a book on making quilts on a serger. Check out the you tube videos. I do like the speed even though my machine is fast but I really like not having to change the bobbin or run out of thread
