Serging with Polyarn

I recently finished another project--another set of place mats for my Mom.  The fabric was a gift from a friend who had made her husband a quilt out of it and I got the leftovers.  Pretty good leftovers, wouldn't you say?  Thanks, Maggie!

My sister pieced the squares, then I quilted and bound the place mats and serged around the napkins.  Instead of using Wooly Nylon, I had gotten some Polyarn from Superior Threads I wanted to try, and am I ever glad I did.  I used it in both the upper and lower loopers, and regular sewing thread in the right needle.  It is so much easier to change to a rolled hem stitch on my Babylock Imagine Wave serger than it has been on my previous two.  The results are pretty good, too.  I think there will be more Polyarn in my ordering future.
