cheap serger thread
#41
Cone holders are easy to make as well. My dad made me a coue and you can also buy them. It has a post for the cone and then usually a wire that goes up and has a hook over the spool to catch the thread and pull it straight up off the cone.

For years I have used Maxilock (3,000 yds) from Wal-Mart (color selection extremely limited) for $1.94, and from
Atlanta Thread ($1.85 for same cone) - - I am not affiliate or advertising - I have just bought for years from them and a great color selection - and I haven't had problems with any of it in serging, sewing or even test sew outs in my embroidery machines. :D

I have one of those 'fussy' machines. It used C&C and Gutterman only. Any serging thread I have tried has been a disaster. I'm sure I could use some of the higher end regular threads, but they aren't available locally. I will check our new LQS. The 'old' one carries Gutterman. Has C&C gone up? I have so many spools, I haven't had to purchase any in a long time.
Wooden spools - I saw a clear lamp base filled with them at JoAnn's Tuesday night. For people decorating in that genre, it was a great idea. I used to save my spools for attaching grippers and jeans snaps to apparel. The tools needed a wooden spool to work.

Hmnn....the dealer I purchased my new sewing machine from said to never use serger thread with this machine, a Viking. I was given totes of serger thread and a serger but have never turned the serger on as I don't see the need to use it. My mother uses it to make our group's quilt labels.

I've used my serger thread on my serger, my sewing machine and my embroidery machine with no problem. Sometimes a machine appears not to like a thread. My embroidery machine doesn't like Madiera, my Kenmore doesn't like Guttermann for whatever reason. Probably a personality conflict.
