I have yet for clothing sewn with MaxiLock to fall apart, even stuff made by my mom 20 years ago.

In my experience, serger thread puts out a lot of lint. I don't like all that lint in my sewing machine.

I haven't read all the threads yet but I have used serger thread & didn't know I wasn't suppose to. I quilted several with it & no problem. So hey what ever works.

I think if it is a good quality thread, it should be fine. The problem with the cheaper threads can be excessive lint.It will still sew, but you will have to clean your machine pretty often. :?

I use serger thread all the time for the sewing of the quilt tops and FMQ, and have had no problems.

I buy the Maxilock when on sale...I also use Connecting threads...so far no problem with either...

I use serger thread for everything. I have never had any problems with it.

I also use Serger Thread for everything , it last longer and cheaper to buy. :thumbup:

Years ago I tested quite a few brands of thread. I found Maxi lock to meet all my needs from my sergers to industrial machines.
I have sewn for a number of different clients in my workshop. All of them included Maxi lock with their job. This is how I found out that Maxi lock does make a heavier weight on cones that contain 6000 yds.
Strength test your thread by taking it between both hands and trying to break it. Pretty hard to do.
I have used it on bridal wear to heavy duck civil war costumes to replacing zippers in work jackets.
Many slipcovers and draperies have also been done with Maxi lock from my workroom.

is it 50 weight thread? Sometimes serger thread is made differently than cotton thread for quilting.
