I've just watched Bernadette Banners' video “How to Identify Quality in Clothing (A Rant)” and I'm a bit surprised by the way serging is basically condemned as evil.
I do hate the serger (and the serger hates me), so on the clothing I make I tend to use french seams, bound edges and all those finishes, but other than the odd flat felled seam on sportswear I don't think I've ever seen a professionally made garment where the raw edges weren't finished with serging, even when it was an actual seamstress doing custom work.
Of course there is serging and serging, and the video does mention what to look for for better (or less worse, as they framed it) serging, but I just don't understand how one is supposed to find garments that aren't serged at all for sale.
