I wouldn't...you don't need too....it wastes thread and you might see it behind the other fabric when you iron all the seams flat....

I wouldnt (dont) I think it would add bulk to your seams and make it harder to quilt plus I usually have to square up my blocks so I would end up shaving the serging off.Then there is the extra time taken too Skye |
