I have been using serger thread for years. People will say that it has only two strands, regular sewing thread has three strands. But Ariefil thread is only two stranded. I've never had a problem with it as I put it on a thread stand so that the thread feeds off the top of the cone and never changed the tension. And none of my seams have ever broken because the thread was not strong enough.
