I am with Macybaby. I would never use my serger to sew my binding on because of all the same reasons she said. And...how you gonna do the corners? I think you would still have to use a regular sewing machine to do them.
A lady I know who did a rail fence quilt, did all her piecing seams with a serger. Binding was done the regular way. I asked her why and she said the fabric was fraying really badly. I forgot that when I was sewing some fabric that was raveling really badly and just sewed two seams... the first at the 1/4 inch mark, and then a wavy seam closer to the fabric edge with a tighter stitch. I guess I could have overcast it, but I had forgotten about the quilter using the serger by that time. The wavy stitch worked.
