Some machines offer a serger stitch; check the manual to see if yours does. The stitch is basically just a zigzag stitch, so it's like a real serging stitch's pathetic, more time consuming cousin. I use it for simple things if I have to, but my advice would be not to rely on it for any large project.

You can, however, stitch together straight edges on quilt pieces.

What types of stitching are there?
sewing machine stitches: Straight (or running stitch) zigzag Satin stitch (a very narrow zigzag) back baste blanket buttonhole gather Overlock (serge) stay-stitch (a straight stitch done just inside the seamline to strengthen the seam) Stitch in the ditch (meaning to stitch inside the seam to help hold it down) Many machines have the capablility to sew embroidery stitches by means of special attachments, or the newer ones can be programmed by computer. There are many other kinds of stitches, I have an embroidery dictionary that has over a hundred stitches, and there are similar dictionaries for needlepoint and for cross stitch. I have provided some links to some that can be found online.Perhaps you meant names of stitchery, such as embroidery, quilting, sewing machine, sewing, cross-stitch, needle art, crochet, knitting, crewel, embellishing, beading, blackwork, and hardinger. There are probably more, but these are the ones that come to mind.
What is serge in sewing?
Serging is a way to finish a raw fabric edge to keep it from fraying. A Serger cuts the fabric edge as it goes through and sews an over-lock stitch that creates a clean, nice, professional look. You can look at on the inside seams of most of your clothes and see where serging has been done.
What do you do if the fabric gets eaten by the sewing machine when sewing narrow seams?
If the fabric you are sewing keeps getting caught in the sewing machine feeder (or "eaten by the sewing machine"), after you cut it out, I would suggest taking a few preventative measures:When you are sewing narrow seams, keep the speed very low. Don't press on the pedal too hard, and don't try to sew too quickly.If you have a serger, serge your fabric edges first. This will reinforce the edges, and keep stray threads from getting caught in the feeder.If you don't have a serger, trim the edges, and make sure there aren't any loose fabric threads that could get caught in the feeder.Iron your fabric. This will keep it from crinkling up and catching in the feeders.If you can, move your needle as far to the right as possible. This will allow you to sew with the entire presser foot on the fabric, which will stabilize it.
