Question on serging/durability? most durable seams
Cat n Bull   Advanced NC USA Member since 2/17/06 Posts: 2194	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/2/12 12:07 PM Serge & Merge quilt I saw this video and I really love how these quilt seams look. I am working on my dog bed cover and thought since I need to use a small, very simple pattern for it this would add a neat touch. BUT I wonder how durable those exposed stitches are going to be long term? I would only use it for the inside walls, not the cushion I know she is going to fluff up constantly. Does anyone have any experience with seams exposed like this? ------ Cathryn

Especially when you add in the clawing they will get with every fluff up. I recommend you use this decorative technique on projects that will see less wear than usual, not more. It would look great on a wall quilt, for example. ------ Measure twice, cut once.
