about 20 years ago my mom bought up a whole (going out of business) store's maxi-lock serger thread- i bet 2000 cones- all different colors- we have been using up that thread for 20 years- neither of us use a serger- we sew with it- we quilt with it- we use it- it is strong- fine- great colors-
you can use any thread you want- as long as it works for you= there are as many different threads to choose from as there are patterns- well maybe not that many- but there is alot of wonderful thread on the market- try it all! you may just fall in love with something new. :thumbup:
