I have found that sometimes this edge is a little loose, and that depends on the gauge and yarn. However, if the slipped stitch edge is along an edge where stitches will be picked up, picking up one stitch in behind the slipped stitch edge really neatens up the work and looks very effective; even more so if combined with columns of slipped stitches worked in a different direction.
Grafting this slipped stitch edge can be done – the trick is to treat the selvedge and the first stitch as stocking stitch, then switch to the method for grafting garter stitch.
