I am getting ready to make some down booties. (Yes, I know it is almost springtime, but I had enough winter outings this year that I have decided this is something I will need next winter). Anyway, I was thinking of serging the seams with a 4-thread overlock since the seams will all be enclosed between the outer and inner layers.
My question, is there a risk of down escaping from a serged seam? I have basically used a fine straight stitch working with down in the past, but I know a lot of vendors use serging on these UL rip stop fabrics. My booties will be from Argon 90 that I had left over with about 2.5 ounces of down per foot.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
