Maxi-Lock thread and the least expensive place I've found to buy it is Wawak Sewing at www.Wawak.com online. I hope this will help you.

Unfortunately, no. This machine is rather complicated. After a few experiments, I put mine on coverstitch and left it there. Fortunately, I have a great serger.

Make sure your embroidery foot is properly on and screwed onto the machine, if not properly placed on it will break/bend needles. Also there are certain size needles for types of fabric, cotton types use needle size 80/90, for heavier like fleece, layers or quilted items use 100 size. Hope this helps. Also check to make sure your bobbin is not affected, the needle going down can nest in the bobbin and make a big mess in that area.

I'm sure you can use them for your serger. There is only one spool of each color and most servers required 3-4 spools. Also they are smaller than the cones traditionally used for a serger. I use them on my regular sewing machine.

I use a size 16 or 18 in a machine, depending on the material to be sewn. The thread probably will not fit through anything smaller than a size 14.

I suggest that you use the CD that comes.with your serger and follow the instructions carefully. I had that problem at first and found that the CD was quite helpful. Remember to unthread the two needles before you retread the loopers.

I usually use Maxi Lock cone thread. I never like to use the cheapest thread, I was taught that my garment was only as good as the thread I used.

There are some good tutorials on YouTube for treading sergers, because you have to tread it in a certain order or the knife will cut the tread. I also found that tweezers help to get the tread through the small places. Mine came with strings already threaded through the machine you can tie your thread to the strings and pull it all the way through the machine that's supposed to be the easiest way. I had to take mine to a shop and the nice man charged me $25 to thread it. Good luck!

Hi Karen, That's how Amazon list it. This serger is made by Janome. If you have any further questions feel free to call toll free at 800-442-8227 and you can ask for our sewing specialists either Fred or Paul. Thanks, Scott

You might talk to your local dealer if possible, or try googling "sewing machine insert." I did and there was quite a number of hits. I really like my lift. I use it with my serger and don't have an insert, although it would be helpful if I got one. I may have to check it out.

The greatest diameter of the base threads measure 26mm. I assume it's made to fit either E26 or E27.

No, it will not. However, they don't tell you that. I did write a review earlier that the tray serger thread holder is not tall enough for the Madeira serger threads, but I purchased one at Joann's that although not tall enough is wide enough to hold numerous threads of any shape and size. Sorry, I no longer have the specific name for this holder, but just browse Joann's plastic notion containers and you will surely find it.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

Yes it can be used on a serger. However I had to put the cone on a free standing thread stand next to my mahince. There is so much thread on this cone it is too wide to fit on my spool pin :) Great thread & no knots so far. I have used about 1/3rd of the cone.

the only other place to buy, was ebay. and you have to buy the whole machine. another suggestion is to look on the web for parts binging sold for singer tiny serger.

I use this thread with no problem on my Brother PR650. They are wrapped, but I'm not exactly sure what the core is.
