What's the difference between serger thread and sewing thread?

Serger thread, like this 100% polyester Maxi-Lock All Purpose Thread, meets the demands of an overlock machine. It withstands the high speeds and tensions that are unique to serging with ease. The texture of serger thread is smoother than sewing thread, too. This allows the thread to move through the machine at high speeds, and the smooth, consistent texture makes maintaining thread tension a breeze. Plus, it prevents excessive shedding or fraying. Choose from 3,000 yds. or 6,000 yds. cones in a variety of colors.

It's a better serger machine thread. This is a spun poly, so it's not not as strong as a poly core thread. Spun polyester thread is generally used with multiple spools of spun polyester thread.

Hi Alfredo, we would recommend spun polyester for your overlock machine. It's cheaper, and weaker than a core thread, but you are using them with other spools, so it is sufficient. The single needle machine we would recommend a poly wrapped poly core or a cotton covered poly core. Thanks for your question.

Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Spun polyester is made up of thousands of filaments of polyester. Core polyester or poly/poly has a center “core” made of poly, with an additional wrapping of polyester around it. Spun polyester is not as strong as core polyester.
Staff
  • logologo Staff
A:
Though maybe not as strong, spun polyester is much softer and more pliable that core poly. I like to use the spun poly thread for sewing with lightweight chiffon and laces though it works well for most all apparel sewing! Maxi Lock spun poly is a great all purpose thread in my opinion!

Mother goose is brown

Disappointed there isn't some sort of physical color card available for thread. The colors on my phone & computer are so different from the actual colors of the maxi lock thread (same for the color print card they provide). Mother goose to me would be a light brown or tan for example, not orange at all. Luckily you can return them fairly easily!

If they have it - get it here!!!

Best prices around on most items. Affordable and reasonable shipping, not padded for extra profit. And very fast shipping, too, which is very important for me. Most importantly, the best customer service. If there is a problem, they will make it right. I once received white thread that had somehow gotten dirty in shipping. They replaced it with no hesitation. I've only ever had a problem twice, once was that thread and once was a mechanical pencil that was defective, in that the lead would not stay advanced, which was obviously a manufacturing defect. They stood behind their sale and sent a replacement and took the loss. Not many companies stand behind their sales in this manner, these days. I will be a loyal customer because of this - if they have it, I'm buying it from Wawak!

Awesome, Every Time

I'm a seamstress, and my shop does mostly alterations and custom made garments. 90% of our work is formal wear with the occasional "please fix my fave..." project. Any kind of fabric in every color could walk through my front door with a 24 hour deadline. My solution: Maxi Lock in every color hanging on a pegboard. My serger loves this stuff. It never lets me down.

I have never had a problem with thread breaking while surging. I even used it to restyle a pair of jeans because I was out of my usual "jean-weight" thread. I'd planned on going over them again when I got the other thread but forgot. The thread has held up through washing and wearing!
