It works. I know Long Arm Quilters that use it.
|
All I know is that when I used the LA at my LQS to do my Jelly Roll quilt, the King Tut Varigated thread kept breaking. As soon as I finish puting my new frame together and get my new LA installed on the frame, I'm going to try the serger thread and see how that works, before I order some cotton cones for quilting.
|
the thread that melts when pressed with an iron is for temporary sewing, like holding appliques in place, etc. or for basting, I've used it on making wedding gowns (attaching lace til sewn ) and its wonderful for that, but it is not permanent.

Good question. Can't wait for the answers

I am working on my first free motion quilt and I'm using mono poly thread I purchased at my local quilt shop. When you talk about the serger thread what does that look like on the quilt top since the invisible thread doesn't show up?

Someone told me that it is a little lighter weight than other threads because it is meant to be used in combination with other strands of serger thread on the serger, but so far no problems, and it doesn't list a weight on the cones.

I put a cone of poly serger thread (the kind that JoAnn Fabrics sells) on my machine and no breaks. I am going to check for lint, but, for no breaks, I will happily clean out the spaces frequently. I bought these cones at a quilt show from a long arm display. I don't plan on my quilts surviving hundreds of years, so, I guess I'm good with it so far.

I use it all the time==strong and no problems !
