Serger! (and where do I find cotton serger thread?)

[lindaj]

I bought a serger. I've wanted one for years, and on many occasions found myself thinking, "this task would be so much easier with a serger," but I didn't think I could really justify it. I was starting to think that maybe I really could justify it for my current projects, and I went into the fabric store "just to browse."

There was a 4-thread serger on sale for half off. I decided that the gods were speaking to me, and that what they were saying was, "Buy the serger. You deserve it."

I guess I don't have time to figure it out before I go to work. I'll play with it tonight, or over the weekend.

Now I need to find a source of cotton (or possibly silk, or even linen) serger thread, because my current project is natural-fibers-only.

this place has it -- don't know anything about them, but googling "cotton serger thread" turned up a bunch of hits :)

I found them with Google this morning.

I've come to learn that all serger cones are *not* created equal -- for instance, some have 1,200 yards, and some have 9,600 yards. Big difference.

I'm feeling a bit clueless about what I should be looking for, but I'm sure it will work out.

You should have known this was inevitable

Serger? But I just met her! :)

I *love* my serger. We don't do a lot of projects, but when we do, the serger makes them possible.

OK, what sorts of things do you use yours for?
