Just wanted to let everyone know that I appreciated their responces. I did load up 12 bobbins and have gone thru all twelve. I am almost at an end. I did think enough to use serger thread. I do use one of my old machines to load the bobbins as it does better for than job. Curiosity was or is one of the reasons I had this particulair question. Another reason is if I am to take orders for these I would like to know how much to charge.

Just remember that serger thread is smaller in diameter because it is two ply instead of the three ply of regular sewing machine thread. It is designed to be used in a configuration where it can twist & flex, and not need very much straight away strength. If you use it in a straight stitch application with a standard machine, the resulting stitch will withstand very little stress. Bill Holman |

Tyekey, you can ask any question here. That is what these boards are all about. If anyone doesn't like the questions asked, they can leave at the click of a key. MaryW
