This thread is a wide variety of very nice colors, also good quality. I would recommend this. However as another reviewer said there are no notches for the thread to be hooked onto when not in use, I've just used a bit of tape to keep the ones i've used so far bound.

This thread sews beautifully on my Singer Futura. The colors are really vibrant, and the price is fantastic; I bought all 4 color groups. To avoid thread issues, I place a small piece of thread mesh (about 1" long) over the thread on each spool. I don't cover the whole thread area so that I can clearly see the true thread color peaking out on each end. When sewing/embroidering, I use the vertical spool pin, and when finished, I just put the loose thread end under the mesh for storage. I store my thread in a Sulky Universal Slimline Storage Box. These can be a bit expensive, especially if you need more than one (I bought 3), but since I got the thread at such a great price, I could justify the extra investment. These cases are made of durable, clear plastic and will protect your thread better than those wooden spindles.

This is a great option for you and your machine. It's hard to find thread sets at a good price. This set is VERY good quality, it doesn't snap as easy and the colors are vibrant. People who were commenting that they were having trouble (unraveling and therefore thread waste) because the spools don't have a rim where you can insert the thread after cutting. I found a possible solution that can be very helpful. Cut a diagonal slit on top with a knife to insert thread and avoid unraveling. MAKE SURE THE SLIT IS SLANTED OR DIAGONAL....IT'S BETTER THIS WAY (thank you nice lady at Beverly's, San Jose for the diagonal idea ) . amazon also sells mesh to protect your spools but this is a good way and economic way to preserve your thread. I added some pics so you can have a visual. I hope this helps.

I use a Brother SE 350. So far this thread has worked rather well on it. The main complaint is that the thread isn't wound tightly. So when you unwrap the plastic wrapper, sometimes quite significant amount of thread comes unwound from the cone. But great thread for the price, with good sheen.

I would like to give this 5 stars because the thread did well and was a good price. However, the plastic spool core is too large for the thread spindles on my Brother machines and they have jagged edges on which thread can easily catch. I am wondering if there is some kind of adapter needed for this spool and will look into that. In a test against Madeira with the same embroidery design, I thought this thread was actually a little better - a little heavier than the Madeira 40 wt, even though they are both supposed to be the same weight. I did use a thread net to control the unwinding process while stitching, and that worked well with the spool vertical (upright), but because of the large core, it wasn't that successful horizontally. I may try winding onto a bobbin and using it through the needle that way. Maybe more trouble than it's worth, but I'll see. If you can work around the spool issues, you would probably find this an excellent set of threads.
