    I have used it with good results on both piecing and midarm quilting.

    I have used serger thread (2 ply) to piece for a long time. I do suggest that for strength that you shorten your stitch length. The new piecing specialty threads are also only 2 ply.

    I have been using serger threads for quilting for years wirh no problems. The only times I use other threads are for embroidery (rAyon) or cotton when I sew potato bakers when all materials are to be cotton. I am careful to keep my threads out of sunlight.

    I have used several different colors on some quilts that I have quilted. I like the way it seems to sink into the quilt. It is a finer thread, but works just fine to quilt with. I haven't had anything fall apart afterb quilting with it.

    I use it for everything including my longarm. I attended an AQS class several yrs ago & the teacher used it for all her longarm quilting. That's when I started using it and I love the varigated from Hancock fabrics for the LA.

    I use a Pfaff for most piecing and a Bernina for my machine quilting and both machines like the seger thread I use it for both piecing and quilting most of the time I use to se maxi-lock but since they no longer make it I will see what the best brand is I have always been told just do not use the real cheapy stuff

    I was given a large tub of serger thread with a lot of variety of colors. I was so disappointed when the dealer where I purchased my new machine told me not to use serger thread with it. After reading these posts I think I will try it anyway.....the machine is due for it's first service next month so guess I'll find out.
