I've never used thread that wasn't on a plastic spool, how does this fit on a regular sewing machine? Will it work on a serger?

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

You still have to test sew any new fabric. It will also take adjusting the tensions. In short, it will, but you also need to learn the machine, what it does and how to adjust it. Nothing is automatic on sergers.

It is just a serger, but sergers are nothing like a sewing machine. This serger is wonderful, especially for the price. There are sewing machines who have "serging attachments" but they really do not serge. A serger is a unique machine, and I use it for all my quilt blocks, when I do alterations, for decorative finishes on items, but never for seams, it finishes seams, and things like that. Hope that helps you.

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

I ordered Polyester Thread Sets - 40 Spools - 1000M - 40 wt. by Threadart on Amazon and it is great for embroidery. Cost is $39.99. The only problem I have is that the thread gets tangled on spool holder but I put the spool of thread on the table and it works fine. I'm still in the learning curve as I've only had the machine about 3 months and haven't had much time to spend learning it. Hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting Threadart. No, there should not be knots in the thread off the spool.

I wouldn't advise it. Serger thread is a different type of thread used to construct clothes so its more durable. This polyester thread for embroidery is more for decorative purpose. I would suggest Maxi-lock or Sure-lock for serger thread

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

Price equals quality. I used this for 1" and it worked. Extra care is needed to make sure the threader is square and that the pressure applied on the handle is direct. I did have it skip a few times when I wasn't being mindfull of that. Threads were fine and the price can't be beat. I wouldn't recommend it for regular use.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

No, mine worked fine. But I found out after that my machine has this built in. I thought it was more like what a serger would look like.

I honestly don't know which thread it is... I have spoken to several people who say it really doesn't matter which bobbin thread you use as long as its embroidery thread and the bobbin is the correct one for your machine. I have now used at least 60 of these bobbins with NO trouble at all. I have also used the empty to wind my own thread so that the back color matches when stitching lace, with NO problem! Hope this helps!!

Hi, Does your new machine have a metal throat plate? ( that is the plate that goes under the sewing foot which the needle passes through as it goes down and catches the bobbin thread) If you have the metal plate the Dritz Magnetic Seam Guide should work with not problem. The great thing about the magnetic guide for me is when I sew a hem in place or have a seam that is deeper than one inch I measure out from the needle to the depth of the seam or hem and attach the guide to the metal throat plate and as I sew the edge of the fabric is sliding through against the guide and I have a perfect seam. Good luck with your new sewing "toy" and have fun sewing ! I hope this answered your question. Happy Sewing Ells3

I don't havevs Singer, but I have a Janome sewing machinev& a Simplicity serger & it works with these machines. I really like the thread, it is marked Coats Astra.

I use my regular needles but I have to lighten up on the tension so its not so tight and breaks the thread. Hope this helps.
