Thank you so very much - it is a great look in the off-white - more authentic.
463417Great news once again for you Shirlene, but you know for some reason I have always looked upon serger/overlocker thread as a inferior or not such a good quality thread...So if any ladies here in Australia have used overlocker thread without any troubles and the FSL has turned out wonderfully please let me know...
Hugs Kerry

115756What a great tip! And the designs are beautiful. I have often thought that it would take so much thread to do lace for a little girl's dress but this idea makes it more doable and I think it will look better--as you said old world.
Thanks for sharing!

3457Hi,
I use always overlockthread if I test a design. It's not so expensive, I buy it if I can have a big deal and use the colours I dont need or like. Only to test a design it's ok.
It looks a bit like cotton.
Good to see this posted her, thanks Shirlene.
It's a pitty that it do not work it the
opposite. Sometimes I have a special colour I want for the serger - but the embroidery thread is not strong enough.

the products look very nice.
And it is trendy - many things from our mothers or grands are now fancy again.
Nice work you did Shirlene!

Terre, Sally, and Bärbel thank you each. I know that my grandmother was with me - while I stitched most of this - just saying, "I can't believe how quick this is and they look like mine"
211079Shirlene: I took like to do fsl designs, however, I have never used serger thread as it is so thin. You say you use it in both bobbin and top. Any thread breakage, or must I test first to see if machine will do it for me. .....thx. Maria

Maria, I have made lots of doilies with this and the only trouble that I seem to have is the fuzz from the cotton and I just clean out my bobbin area often and check around the needle guide for fuzz. Try it on a coaster or something small.

I only know that the Brother machine does not work with other treat then their own. Only the 625 does it as far I know. I use the madeira 60 in the bobbin but don't know the other threat. Is this also in Holland for sale??

It is the tread that you use for you overlocker or whatever it is called besides serger, in your country.
1999That is so cool.
