P.S. I use all flat sheets for backing. i have not bought any fabric for the backs of more than 100 quilts.
I have friends in my quilt group,that use serger thread for piecing and quilting.
the reason it is strong enough in a seger..is you usually are using 4 or 5 threads at the same time. i was just under the assumption that it was thinner, because 4 threads are used. that is why i have not bought any.
i also have used sheets for the backing of quilts.
and i agree, i think tension is the issue, if your machine is acting up with certain threads. I only choose NOT to use C&C because the price went up, when the dual duty came out, and it was a smaller spool..less thread. so i stick with Guttermann (sp?) at joanns,with a coupon or when it is on sale.
