If you're going to serge them, I'd suggest using wooly nylon thread.

Fun reading...thinking you see someone from this board and then finding out you did...way funny!
If you are going to serge the edges, experiment with using your rolled hem and some metallic thread. I have done that and it looks so festive and kinda special.

The InsulBrite is on a bolt. Apparently from how the saleslady at Walmart was talking is is supposed to be kept on the top shelf where the interfacings are. I don't know when they get their shipments in but maybe they will get some this week.
