40 Colors Polyester Embroidery Machine Thread Kit | 550Y(500M) Compatible with brother Babylock Janome Singer Husqvarna Bernina Embroidery,40wt

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.

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 👍

Excellent value for machine embroidery thread. A good selection of colors.

I got an embroidery/sewing machine combo from my husband and son for my Birthday. And I am completely new to machine embroidery. I wanted to get some cheaper threads to practice with to see if I could get the hang of it. Knowing full well because I had been doing research for over a year that I was probably going to have a lot of breakage and tangling. Let me tell you, these threads surprised me. They came out beautifully. And there were only 3 breakage and tangling incidents. They might have been my fault since I am very new but won't know for sure til I get more embroidering under my belt... The first project I did had to be the hardest for a beginner having 28 color changes and took me 2 and a half hours (go big or go home right?) I was surprised that I only had the thread break twice, one of the browns, and only one tangle in the bobbing compartment. The tangle did get pretty bad and pulled the fabric out of place. If I remember correctly it was a different shade of brown that the tread broke, so the browns for whatever reason don't like my machine. I have now used almost every color thread in this box and I couldn't be more impressed. I think these have an amazing quality to them and for the price you absolutely cannot beat it.. They threw in some prewond and empty bobbins which unfortunately don't work with my machine, but they might with my other machine or even my mom's, haven't checked yet. They also gave me some stabilizer (which is a little lower quality.. but great to have something to practice on.. I haven't used it yet because I had already gotten a different stableizer) and thread nets for all of the spools which are absolutely amazing 👏 👌 😉!

The item arrived 2 days after the order was placed. The price is good compared to the more expensive brands. The box and it's contents are in good condition w some freebies . I've tried 2 colors of the thread so far on my se600 Brother machine and both were looking good. The blue thread I didn't have any issues , but the gray thread breaks and made my machine stopped and asked to re-thread and it made a bird's nest on the feed dog part of it so I had to clean it up and re threaded and I used the free thread netting that came w the order. It's supposed to help slow down the thread as you start to sew. I don't know if it helped. But when I started the machine, it came out nice afterwards. The thread has nice vibrant color .

nice thread colors are vibrant.came in nice box ,but can be put in thread rack they sew well and dont seem to have much lint they go on the spool holder well the colors are slightly different than the color chart that was sent with them,eg.,the linen is actually to me a peach color..i think it should be more close to an ecru color,with all those colors there is nothing in that category i will recommend them..got them for my brother l5500 embroidery sewing machine

Wonderful product

My sister and I have a brother embroidery machine and this thread works perfectly with the machines. The thread doesn't break of shred. We've been using this bra d for several years

Nice colors perfect for embroidery

تستاهل كل ريال لمعتها تجنن وجودتها في التطريز تهبل بس لازم تتأكدون انكم مقفلين المكره بالحلقه اللي عند العروه عشان مايقعد الخيط يلف ع العصا ويبهذل شغلكم

My first blanket using Simthread so love the colour range. Can't wait to try the glow in the dark ones next !

Me parecen muy buenos estos hilos, me quedan muy bien mis bordados.

I found the yarn to be good quality. The package comes with 40 colours. I like that a 63 brother colour chart was included and the 40 thread in the package was marked with a bullet. The package also includes a piece of stabilizer so we can use the thread right away for projects. Each thread is 500m and the colour number is printed on the spool. 7 bobbins were included, two of them wound with black and white thread. Overall, I find this to be a good value to have a variety of different coloured embroidery thread to do different projects.
