Hello friends!<\/p>\n

Happy Friday. Here’s a question I’ve been pondering lately. Do you match your serger thread to your fabric?<\/p>\n

\"serger<\/a><\/p>\n

I purchased large spools of thread for my serger in white, grey, navy, and black, and I can use them for many of my sewing projects. But there are occasions when I think it would look nicer to match the thread to my fabric color, especially when I’m sewing something in a solid color that isn’t any of my serger thread colors. (Pink red, green, etc.) Do you ever use regular sewing machine thread to match your projects? Tell me your solution to this dilemma!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
