Not so sure about this. I use a good quality serger/overlocker thread
and have no problem. I've had more lint of Gutterman poly thread than
off my Empress Mills 120's poly. Gutterman SERGER thread is excellent,
mind.

When the plastic base of my cone holder failed, Himself glued the bits
into holes in a block of wood. Works a treat!

When I went around Xmas to
fabric store, they told me that those were for sergers
and that I couldn't use them in any way on a regular
sewing machine.
