Serger Thread???
#2
I have used them many times on my DSM with no problems. I have to put it in a jar and then thread it through a safety pin taped to the top of my machine and then I thread it through the machine. Now, if only they had bobbins for DSM that could hold that much thread.

I have read about Serger thread disintegrating under the heat of an iron. When you think of what serger thread was made for - knit tops like turtlenecks that don't get much ironing- this makes sense. I don't have first hand experience.

Serger thread is 50 wt., just like Mettler thread. I can only use 50 wt. cones and was told that if I want colored thread to try Serger thread. Not a thing wrong with using Serger thread! My Bernina loves it!! Gutermann is 40 wt and my machine refuses to sew with it. Am going to the dealer and finding out why. I paid enough that it should sew with 40 wt and should sew with spools, not just cones. Amy Gibson, famous for her sewing, uses 50 wt. Presencia thread, like I use now. Don't let anyone tell you it's not strong enough. It is! If they buy spools of Mettler, they are buying 50 wt.

that is all I use for sewing anything. the big cones last sew much longer than the small spools and are so much cheaper. Especially since DH bought a whole box full at an auction sale and I bought another box on the same sale. I will never run out of thread. Have just about every color under the rainbow and my machines have no problems using it. I always double sew my seams when I quilt sew it will never come apart unless someone takes it apart.

I've used serger thread for years with no problem. I've never had it melt with an iron. They even make a holder you can buy that sits behind your machine so you can use serger thread on your single needle machine. I worked in an interior design workroom for several years. We used serger thread there making slip covers, bed comforters, draperies and pillows. Never a problem.
