You can, but fuzz can be a problem because serger thread is made with shorter strands of cotton. It means you need to clean your machine frequently, as fuzz buildup is bad for machines.

I switched to Aurifil 50wt for piecing and now will never go back to fuzzier threads (was using Mettler 60wt silk-finish, which is supposed to be less fuzzy than most). There is no much less lint with Aurifil!
