First off, for some reason Amazon has this set listed twice, one that ships from Amazon and the other ships directly from ThreadArt. Each listing has their own reviews. I had mine ship directly from ThreadArt which took about a week. I bought this set as my starter threads, thinking I would upgrade to better quality threads once I get the hang of the embroidery. I have made several projects with this set and could not be happier. As you can see from the pictures, the threads are lustrous and all the colors are vibrant. The threads themselves are very slippery and want to unravel from the spool which often caused the thread to get caught between the spool and the spool holder on my machine. This problem was solved by using a separate vertical spool holder. I did have few breaks or shreds with these threads (I would say every other project, depending on complexity). So when I was low on black and white I decided to buy Madeira and Isacord replacements and compare the brands. The ThreadArt threads are actually the shiniest of the three brands, Isacord being the dullest. The major difference I noticed are the spools and how threads sit on them. Both Madeira and Isacord spools are much better quality and the threads do not slip off of them as easily as the ThreadArt ones do. Both Madeira and Isacord spools have a thread lock so that threads don't unravel while stored, I ended up putting a net mesh over the ThreadArt ones to prevent the unraveling. But as far as the quality of sewing, I did not see any difference. In fact the black Madeira thread shredded on me during the test, causing sparse stitches. I really do love the luster of ThreadArt and will buy these again despite the inconveniences. One thing to note, although these are ThreadArt threads, they are labeled with Brother numbers, so to replace exact same color from ThreadArt individually, you need to convert the number to ThreadArt (they have a conversion chart on their website).

Beautiful thread. Love the variety of colors. Some of the reviews say they got duplicate colors, some may look very similar but look at the number of the shade on the spools and you will see they are different shades of the same color.

Didn't receive item until 2 weeks after it was supposed to arrive and that is the reason for the 3 stars. Otherwise the item is very good quality.

Love love love my thread. It's a great quality, nice and strong and doesn't break. The colours are perfect for every project you can think of. The variety offered is great. Note this does not come with a black or white but it does contain so many hues or blue, green, red, purple and pink great for spring and summer or making baby gifts.

These are good embroidery threads with a good selection of colors. I think, if you are about to buy your very first embroidery machine - pick this up. It works well with my Brother LB6810 (cdn version of LB6800) but there are issues.This is the one thread that I have had break. Not often, and usually because it got snagged on the spool. Sometimes that isn't the issue and it is the the thread has bunched up somewhere. Buy a good nail file, check each spool for areas that might get snagged and keep an eye on your machine as it sews.With that said, the thread is quite nice. Shiny, and looks lovely. I also like that my Embrilliance software has this thread listed so I can check and change colors accurately. This is a great way to start out, but I've decided to build up my thread stash with Hemingsworth threads because they are much higher quality and offer a better bang for your buck.

These threads made a decent starter set. They're relatively inexpensive and you get a fair number of colors so you can buy larger spools of the ones you need more often.I did have a few issues with the spools themselves but found easy workarounds (or maybe it's just standard practice, I'm very new at this).-Needles breaking because the thread comes off and twists around the spool holder: To fix this I pointed the spool so the top faced the feeding direction horizontally. My machine also allowed me to put the spool at a (very slight) angle upwards. This seemed to help prevent a lot of the needle breaks.-The sticker on the top was annoying. It either kept coming off or I had to crease it so far in I couldn't read the number anymore. I finally ended up just using a sharpie to write the number on and removed the sticker altogether.-Several of the spools didn't lock entirely. One side locks but the other side will just pop right back open again. Most the time the part that locks will keep the tread in place for the most part, but it isn't as sturdy.Overall though, these are small annoyances. To my inexperienced eye, the threads seem to be of acceptable quality and (like I said before) this has been a good starter set. I'd recommend it to a friend and will likely buy at least one other set in the future.One slight request would be to include the specific color numbers included the description of each set. This would make it easier to decide which set to buy next.

I got this set with some trepidation as the price was so low. But I am so glad I did. I have been very impressed with this set. Even though it is polyester it ranks with Madeira thread as far as I'm concerned. So far I have not had breakages and the colors are vibrant. I did get a couple of colors (gold) that were very close together, but all things considered, I am very happy with this set. I have paid over $25 for a set of 18 and only got 200 meters per spool. This is a great bargain, even with shipping, I think I got a deal on the shipping too.

Being a neophyte to machine embroidery I was nervous about buying thread with such mixed reviews. I was concerned that my limited skills needed as few barriers to success as possible. That said, each time I did the math, the cost of competing thread was triple. So I did some research, read the other reviews & discovered:1. Shiny polyester thread is silky and slick. That's why it's so pretty on your shirt & also why it's slippery on the spool. You need a thread net to keep it on the spool. My new Singer Futura Quartet came with 2 thread nets and directions that you need to use them for embroidery thread. I spread the nets open and slid them on each spool (up from the bottom) before I put the thread on the machine. This works great. The thread comes off like a charm & doesn't unwind all over the place.2. You MUST remove the spool cap before using the spool on your machine. Once I forgot to do this & the thread broke repeatedly. I take the cap off and stick it on my bobbin winder to hold it till I'm done with sewing.3. Every embroidery expert talks about the fact that small spools of thread will tend tangle (or stay curled) if you don't give them time to unwind. If you give the thread a longer path to unwind before they through your machine the thread will work better. I've bought a Dritz cone thread holder as recommended; however, I've not used it as the thread nets solved ALL my problems from day one.4. Threadnet has a conversion chart available on their website. Thus, no worries about which thread color to pick...If your interested, there's a you tube video showing how to make your own thread nets by recycling your support hose. I've not tried that, instead, I use the same net for each spool as I put it on the machine. For storage, I slap a piece of scotch tape over the loose end of the thread so it doesn't unravel during storage. Again, you can't beat the price. No one has questioned the quality of the thread. I just followed Singers recommendation and used a thread net.
