This is the final instalment of the Serger Series. Today I wanted to share with you a simple money saving tip that I find really useful, especially when I need to serge with thread colours that I don't normally use (think red, green, blue, etc).
Serger threads can cost quite a bit of money. In Australia I typically see them for around $6.00 each. If I am stitching with four threads that can become quite expensive! So if you have a more unusual colour you want to stitch with, but know you probably won’t stitch with the colour again any time soon, why not only buy two spools instead of four?

I really hope you've all found this series helpful. I have very much enjoyed sharing it with you!

Disclaimer: Always refer to your own serger/overlocker manual for definitive advice on how to set up, thread and sew with your machine. I do not claim to be an expert on every model and thus am only sharing my personal experiences using two ‘lower end’ models (Toyota3400d and Janome1110dx). Also, I am in no way affiliated with the Melrose thread. I am simply giving an example of some neutral colour options.
Thank you Sam for your informative posts. It is appreciated! Great series.
