    Hi, does it make a difference what brand do you use for serging? I have only heard of Maxilock (spelling) and now I see that Gutterman makes it too. At Joann's today I see something else at the "supervalue" bin, can you use it?

    That's what I use too. No problems for me either.

    Does setting your seams with an iron after sewing really make a difference?
