So sorry to hear a bout your machine, I also use the serafil cones with good result.
58029I'm sorry to hear that your machine needed repair!
You've been given a lot of good information which can benefit many of us. *4U
29871Sorry to hear you had problems with serger thread. I have used it with no problems for quite a while. Some lint but easily cleared out. When I do FSL I always slow my machine down which prevents breaking. Better luck in the future.
12985A good article on FSL on the Emboidery Library Site well worth a read. I have posted the link. Have a look at other projects while you're there AND collect this months free designs, all very good quality.
2738Well, oddly enough, I was going to post how well serger thread worked for FSL, hee hee hee. I made quite a few of those Easter egg covers with it, and although there was lint on the needle from it, easily brushed away, there seems to be no lint in the bobbin case. I had actually no breaks with the serger thread, unlike the embroidery thread which I had to babysit and re-thread after the first 20 stitches, and about every 200 stitches thereafter. So, what happens to your machine if you use serger thread? What did you need fixed? Hugs, Marji

the serger thread pull, the needle break and damage the bobine case .he said this thread should never be use in a embroidery machine because even if we clean the machine, small lint gets all over and wear the parts*
33451Oh my - well - RA has come out with a 50 WT cotton thread. I have not used it, but saw it for the first time at the Viking store. It is in the large 5000m spool. Since they ve come out with the quilter - I wonder how it would do with the FSL? Any of you Cuties out there tried it?

95302My dealer told me never to use serger thread for sewing, let alone embroidering, as it is made of a lesser quality cotton or polyester, namely far shorter pieces. That makes the thread not only rougher, but it sheds a lot of fluff easily. Having said that, a supplier for tailors sold me Serafil, an extremely smooth, thin, first quality thread on large cones (5000 m) that was used in the industry for sewing and sereging. It does not shed, tear easily and gives excellent results. I made FSL bookmarkers with it.
Sorry to hear it cost dearly.
145196Thanks for the good advice. That sounds like something I would have tried....now I know better without finding out the hard way!
17126ONLY use serger thread for serging!!! My Mom thought she would save toooo...she pieced a whole Queen size Quilt top with it and it fell apart b-4 she could quilt it...WHAT A MESS!!!!
31942Oh yes - you have to clean your machine and be extra careful when you use the serger thread in it. *4U
