I someone asked you to picture the average bedroom of an American adult, what exactly would you picture? There are a number of objects and images that would naturally come to your head: a bed with a warm comforter in a light, inoffensive color, soft carpet, maybe a set of dressers made of relatively inexpensive pine but complimented by an old bedside table of very oak you inherited from your grandparents.

Serger thread is a finer thread than regular sewing machine thread. It is used to avoid excessive bulk in the seams of garments, quilts and other stitched articles and is designed to be used on serger machines where more than two threads are sewn into the fabric at once. The threads pass through more guides in a serger machine than a standard sewing machine; therefore, the threads need to be smooth and have a consistent diameter. Good quality thread will not have bumps or knots and will not leave lint. Lower quality thread will look “hairy” and may have an uneven twist that can cause irregular stitching.
Serger thread comes on a large spool, or cone as it is often called; and, is cheaper by the yard than other threads. Many sewers choose to buy this thread for that reason alone. However, because this thread is designed to be sewn in multiples, it is much thinner and unlike regular thread, may not hold a seam on its own. Thread on a serger spool comes off the top of the spool. The spool does not revolve like a standardized thread spool. Sewers need to ensure the thread is coming off the spool properly to avoid the thread being caught or twisted. Thread that is cross-wound on the cone will give the best results.
Serger thread comes in several types. The most common is called MaxiLock, which is 100% spun polyester and is used for general serging. Other threads used for serging are decorative type threads made from yarn-like materials, such as twisted acrylic yarn, wooly nylon, or rayon. Finding the proper thread for a project can be confusing for beginning sewers. Superior Threads carries a thread reference guide that helps determine which threads are best suited for each task. In addition, this company is the only one of its kind that guarantees the thread they sell when consumers follow the reference guide.

And it really is a valid question. After all, a stair can either make or break your home’s interior décor and you need to be sure that it goes in with the look of your home. This works not only for stairs that are in the middle of your drawing room but also for those that have been installed outside on the patio or in the back of your home to act as an extra ancillary set cut for the members of your family.
