[h-cost] Overlocker thread

Hi All, What is better for an overlocker, cotton or polyester? Yes this is a very open ended question! What do you find best to use in what situations. Sidney ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com

Re: [h-cost] Overlocker thread

Is this the same machine I know as a serger? I generally use the cones of thread which are mostly Polyester; though I suspect it would be best to coordinate your needle thread(s) with your fabric as is usually done for standard sewing machines. Hope this helps, Betsy -Original Message-

Re: [h-cost] Sewing and embroidery machines

I am so glad you mentioned the Designer 1 machine. I am purchasing one from a friend who bought it with all the accessories, but her health won't let her use it much. It is to be my first embroidery machine, so any advice will be greatly appreciated. She bought the extra software too, though

Re: [h-cost] Overlocker thread

I never use cotton thread for anything, as I live in a dry climate, and it breaks faster. I think I read that poly has more give to it as well. I just use the cheap poly cone threads that are made for sergers. One question relating to threads I have is does anyone think that cotton covered

Hi Jane, Greetings from soggy Fauquier County! :) I have a Bernina Artista 200e, which I adore. It performs superbly as a standard sewing machine, can do overlock/serging, and is really excellent at embroidery. It has fairly easy to understand instructions on scanning new designs, can hoop

Re: [h-cost] Overlocker thread

I took a serging class at a community college with a woman who ran a sewing machine repair place (they sold used and Viking machines too.). She warned us that the large cones of thread sold as serger thread at places like Joannes were not good quality. (This does not include the quality

Re: [h-cost] thread in general

Defiinitely depends on the machine - my Janome works just fine with the super-fine monofilament thread (YLI wonder thread, available from Clotilde or Nancys Notions) or the Sulky clear poly thread, but Pierre's Designer 1 hates it - won't sew, breaks the thread, tangles in big loops on the
