I have used serger thread for regular sewing and quilts for YEARS. It is strong, but it is not SO STRONG that it cuts into cotton fabric. As a matter of fact, those bags of used clothes my daughter brought to me last summer included a bunch of quiltie fabric I sewed with serger thread into dresses for my GD when she was a toddler (she's now 16). The seams were as strong as the day I sewed them! I know, because I had to 'unsew' them before I could make them into quilts. And none of the seams had ripped the fabrics. They had been washed so many times that the fabric had begun to fade. Now that's a good test of thread!
