I Have made a couple of quilts using my mserger for the quarter inch seams. I usually change the foot to the one that doesn't cut and it works fine.The seams don't seem bulky and I like the finish of it.
|
In March I went to a three day quilt retreat with Eleanor Burns. One day was making a Lovers Knot quilt top on a serger. It was easy and fast.

No not entirely.

QAYG=quilt as you go.
Go ahead and use the serger. Just remember that it moves really fast. I do it for simple, ie log cabins, rail fence etc. anything w/lots long strips. I did not find much bulkiness as the quilts were for little boys and were going to be "hard used". on the boat, going on hunts! You know the kind of things they do. They are big now, but the quilts faded and much loved are still around. Hope this helps. |

I will have to see if I can find a picture online. |
I have made a log cabin on the serger. It is very fast and lays down great

I made a christmas quilt (flannel) and used my serger for all of it. It sewed, & trimed the fabric and I don't have to worry about the flannel ragging on me. the serger is great, and I have plans to make another quilt for a friend and use the serger.

Wow! I never thought of using the serger for a log cabin quilt, or for a flannel quilt. Now I'm thinking of trying it on a flannel log cabin quilt!
|
I've made a throw sized quilt with my serger in a rail fence pattern. No quilting at the end and I appliqued black cats sitting on the fences. Came out really cute.

Serger quilts are also a great way to use up my batting strips that get trimmed off larger quilts.
