You all are so crafty when it comes to adapting to your needs but I need to point out that the spool of thread that someone was using in a picture just prior to this is serger thread and it was designed so that either 3 or 4 or 5 threads could be combined without alot of bulk. It is a thiner thread then regular thread and will break easier than the regular thread. A bunch of them are always polyester instead of 100% cottom.
