Any disadvantages to using silk thread? Can silk thread be used for hand quilting?

Silk thread works very well for applique. 50 weight works very well for hand quilting. Silk is 100 weight. Thread should match the fabric. Silk thread for silk fabric. Cotton thread for cotton fabric. You could use silk thread with cotton fabric if your batting is thin.

Is it fine enough to hem pants?

It is very fine. I use it to appliqué quilts. Regular thread is usually 50 weight. Hope that helps.

Would this be good for hand sewing hand-rolled silk scarves?

I've used it in conservation work (black silk lace) and found it quite acceptable for fine handsewing.

I am looking to sew a small holes in leggins, trying to find a thin thread so that the repaire eill not be visible. With this work?

I think this thread might work. I do hand piecing for quilts and the stitch barely shows. It's almost invisible if the color match is good.
