A few years ago at the Houston Quilt Show they demonstrated piecing a quilt with a serger. Not sure how they sewed a consistent 1/4in seam - I know I couldn't. I have a serger but don't use it too often.

I'm taking a serger class now, and saw ways a rolled hem could be used to join fabrics, like lace inserts for example. It could be an interesting way to add texture to your quilt top.

I don't see how it would be possible to actually piece with one unless you are steady enough to avoid the knife or have a way to lower the knife.

I have two older sergers, and I wouldn't want to be without one. While they can be frustrating at times to thread, I still am glad to have them. I would suggest that a person just learn how to thread them. again,.again..,again. eventually you won't even think about it when you do it!
