Review: Vibrant colors and smooth stitching - This thread set is fantastic for embroidery projects. The colors are bright, consistent, and exactly what I needed, and the thread runs smoothly through the machine without snagging. Each spool has plenty of length, and the variety makes it easy to match any design. A great value for anyone who loves crafting.
Review: Excellent Quality Thread - I ordered the Simthread to see how it would work in my Babylock. When I saw the thread I was happy with the colors and the sheen. For the little bird I needed several colors within the same family for shading and I think it turned out quite well. The thread was strong and I had no issues pulling the start end from the cone. I am extremely happy with it and will order again. I did two projects. The first was a set of four napkins with just a simple flower. The napkins are polyester and very slippery. They are also thin and distort easily. I floated them with tear away. I had no issues with the thread at all. The second project was done on a flour sack tea towel. I was experimenting and lazy so I did get puckering but that is the fault of the operator, not the towel or the thread. I chose to float on a single layer of vilene. The towel really should have been hooped or if floated I should have used tear away. I had read where others had floated on vilene with success. I am not happy with the puckering but the thread stitched out beautifully. This was a VERY dense stitchout. I had no issues with breakage or shredding. Overall I am very happy with this thread and plan on purchasing some variegated and metallics. There is one comment that would make using this thread a bit easier for me. The color numbers are on the bottom of the cone. I store my thread in a plastic covered box and would prefer the color number where I can see both the number and the color without having to lift the spool from its storage box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice set of colors! Great Value!
*by A***T on November 9, 2020*

I bought this set of Simthread Brother 40 Colors 40 Weight Polyester Embroidery Machine Thread Kit 550Y(500M) spools and I'm really impressed with the colors, packaging, and quality of the thread. I do a lot of machine embroidery, as a hobby, with a Husqvarna Viking Diamond, Viking Jade 35 and Brother PE770 and have tried several brands of embroidery thread over the last 20+ years and this thread works great on all three machines. Two things I always do and recommend with ANY home embroidery machine and embroidery thread are: * Always use a bobbin thread, not embroidery thread in your bobbins. My personal preference is ThreadArt bobbin thread in white or black, sold here on Amazon. It's the best bobbin thread I've ever used because it so closely matches to lingerie thread, which is what I used to use as bobbin thread. * Never machine embroider at the full speed of your machine, especially if you frequently experience thread or needle breakage and nesting. Always knock down the speed a notch or two, if you have that option. - With so many variables when machine embroidering with the fabric, stabilizer, thread, needle, brand of machine, tension settings, embroidery design density, etc. there's always the chance of occasional thread or needle breakage. I have found that if we don't have our machines cranking out our designs at full speed all the time, we have less chance of the thread and needle breakage or nesting. It also makes it a lot easier to stop the machine before it gets too far when the thread or needle has broken so you can back-track better to re-do stitches. One additional note: There are some other nice sets of embroidery thread here on Amazon that are also good values to consider. This set is one them 👍
