Just recently my serger broke and I haven't gotten around to fixing it
with superglue. Anyways, what are some good ways to bind the seams or
cover them so that they aren't exposed on the inside?
Also, what is couture sewing?

If you have a newer sewing machine (maybe 20 yo) a lot of them have
stretch stitches on them that will work pretty well for you.
My old Bernette serger went out last year and I was shocked at how
inexpensive sergers have gotten. I replaced it with a $300 serger
that is really quite servicible and a lot more user friendly.

Easiest thing would probably be a zig-zag stitch. If you have the
patience for 'couture', then you can sew it by hand. I think you can
combine - zig zag on the (more) inner parts, and bind it by hand where
it might be seen.
