Question about threads?
#1
Does anyone know if using overlocking thread will hurt my sewing machine (Janome 6500). I recently bought two spools (they were on sale so I thought I would try them), and they seem to work for piecing. But, I don't want to find out that I am hurting my machine. Thank you!

While overlocking thread can be used, you need to be aware that it could leave more lint than regular quilting thread. It is also made a little lighter than a lot of threads since in serger work you're using three or more threads to do the same work that two threads are doing on regular sewing.
