I use Maxi-Lock on my sewing machine and serger. Comparing it to the Sure-Locak that you get at Wal-mart, it is a much better thread and someone at the sewing center here, told me to use that kind on my serger.

Can this thread be used in any type machine?......Michele

I use it as my main thread. Great color selection and it goes a LONG way.

I think so....I've never used it before.

Just thought if anyone did that it sounded like a good price!

I've used Maxi lock in my bobbin and top thread for sewing , so far, I've never had any problems.

thanks

Is this thread cotton? wonder if I could use it for embrod.Machine.....Michele

when I first had a machine that would do embroidery, I practiced using regular thread, didn'/t want to waste expensive embroidery thread. Don"t know about the Maxi for that, but if you don"t try, you'll never know!

Thanks, just ordered some for my recently purchased serger -- a whole new world for me. :-) We'll see how it works.

Let us know!!

I use Maxi on my sergers.

WOW, just placed an order. That thread costs $4.79 at Joanns; your code gave me an additional 6% discount. For my order of 11 spools, shipping cost $6.25 which is less than our sales tax here. Total order $25.38. THANK YOU!!!!

How's this thread compare with coats and clark as far as lint???

The coupon/code is a bit confusing in that it doesn't reduce the sale price of the thread directly; i.e., the thread is on sale for $1.85 but, as mentioned marknfran, the code gives another 6% off.

I just found a sales receipt for Maxi-Lock from a local shop (where I just bought my serger) and their price is $3.99 per spool. Comparing that to Atlanta Thread, for 8 spools at $1.85 plus discount of 6% and shipping ($6.25), each spool costs $2.52 which is a 47% savings, if my math is correct!

My order was just shipped (ordered last Thurs) which I think is pretty good service.
