Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how beautifully this thread stitches on my projects. I have used silk, rayon, polyester threads from some of the more expensive companies like Gutterman, Madeira and Sulky. I had a lot of breaks and ruined projects from many of those threads. No more! I've been embroidering happily for days now and am saving up for more thread by this seller. Shipped fast and was packaged well. Potential downfalls to those buying this thread: There is no locking base, the numbers are on the top of each spool as a sticker and there isn't a color chart. These things are easily overcome. For the thread: Even with my locking based threads, I prefer to use scotch tape. I found that the locking bases on most threads can shred them and cause tears or breaks. The scotch tape is reusable and keeps the spool from getting tangled in storage. I only use the scotch brand as some of the cheaper ones leave residue. Just a small piece attached to the end of the thread to the spool is all you need. Onto the numbers: Spend the time to peel them carefully off and put them on the inside of the spool. That way you'll still know what number corresponds with Brother Polyester threads. Lastly, the color chart: This is an easy fix, you can find it on Brother's website. I printed it off and keep it in my sewing cabinet. Easy fix. So if you don't mind a little prep work, I say go for it! I love this thread and I am glad I listened to the other rave reviews. For those that are having breakages, there is one thing always to remember: Thread the machine with the presser foot up. Although this might not help for all, this is something many sewing/embroidery machines fail to tell you in the manuals.
