Edited to add: When I Googled the question, some answers were Yes, and some were No. I'd sew a seam or two with it and pull on them to see if the thread holds up and looks good. If it does, then go for it. They did say that some sewing machines would do well with it and others wouldn't.
My serger thread continued to bunch up on the front of the needle and then break. Therefore it has been banished to the hand sewing thread bin. Put regular thread on the machine and it worked perfectly so my guess would be No. At least it did not for me.
