Hi Lynne,

Great to hear that another M* member is so close to me. Heck all good shopping is in Kennesaw!

No you don't need to do a French Seam when you use a Serger, the only thing is that the hospitals require us to use 100% cotton thread on our pillowcases due to the commercial dryers they use. Poly can melt at high heat.

I purchase my 100% cotton sewing/serger thread 3000 yards for $3.95 at Thread Art

Heavy Duty Cotton Thread | Strong Cotton Thread | Large Cotton Thread

For my other projects I go to wawak.com - they carry 70+ colors of MaxiLock Serger thread, 5000 yards per spool at $1.99.

We'll be starting our Easter Drive in January - you can also join the Cyber Elves Give Back group here on M* and on FB (It's a closed group, so just as to join and I'll approve you. Invitation open to all M* Forum members.

I'll also PM this info to you just in case you don't come back to this thread.

Huggers, Ruby
