Having never even tried a serger before, I thought it would be the best machine for me.
What thread does everyone use and where do you purchase it? If you have a 4 thread, do you find you always or most never buy 4 spools of the same color?
I buy the large cone spools (they have them in Jo-Ann's). I buy mostly standard colors, such as white, natural, black and grey. They can be used on a lot of materials. On sale they only cost a couple of dollars. Once in a while I buy a special color (4spools). Sometimes I use them for standard sewing as well. Never had a problem with it.
