Simthread Brother 40 Colors 40 Weight Polyester Embroidery Machine Thread Kit 550Y(500M) for Brother Babylock Janome Singer Husqvarna Bernina Embroidery and Sewing Machines

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 ThreadArtbobbin thread in white or black, sold here on Amazon. It's the best bobbin thread I've ever used because it soclosely 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 orneedle 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 ofmachine, tension settings, embroidery design density, etc. there's always the chance of occasional thread orneedle breakage. I have found that if we don't have our machines cranking out our designs at full speed allthe 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 brokenso 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 👍

I have used these for multiple projects now and I can say that I have had no breakage issues with any of them. The nets that were included were easily able to be cut in half, thus doubling the number of nets for keeping the spool from unraveling. To keep them free from dust I keep them in the box, making them super easy to store. I have been very happy with the color selection in the set I got. All in all, I recommend this thread for embroidery machines.I've used the expensive madera thread and these look just as good.

Works great. No breakage. Godd variety of colors

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 colors and strong. Should have doubled black and white. Only one of each included.

For those who are braving the Sketch PP1, my machine LOVED this thread. Went from thread breaking every few minutes with a different brand to being able to complete a full project with no breaks.

I have Brother Embroidery machines and I am so thankful this product is available. Brilliant colors. Great value for the money. Perfect for my needs

Had all the necessary colors, it is a good starting base for machine embroidery thread color collection.
