EDIT: 6/25/13: the thread is even worse than my original review in the next paragraph, so I deducted another star. It's too thin, breaks too easily, is almost impossible to thread through a needle. But so far it survives washing. I've mended or hand-sewn a number of articles which yet haven't come apart or shown stress. So maybe only working with it, is the problem.

=========

Thread holds your clothing together, so you want it to be strong. I was against buying polyester thread for that reason, but decided to give this bag of thread a try. The colors are as depicted, muted colors. Color quality is good. Thread quality is not. It will work with clothes you don't think will get rough treatment. The thread is VERY thin, but not as thin as those mini-spools packed in sewing kits. Maybe it's stronger than it looks, but it looks like it will break on the first tug. Sew your stitches somewhat loosely, and make whatever you make somewhat larger in size than otherwise needed, so you don't pull so much at the seams. Happily, that caution still allows a wide variety of things you can sew or mend.

As for the worry about the notches in the spools, just set a washer between the bobbin winder and the spool, so there won't be any catching. Or, one of those spool protectors housed atop DVD spindles. See if that helps.

But for anything mending/sewing of cloth likely to pull due to usage or size, go for mercerized cotton. That's what I'm going to do, now.

Best Deals for Polyester Sewing Thread Set - 24 Spools (200 Yards Each)

The price was inviting, so I ordered this package of threads. However, because there is a plastic notch on each end of the spools, I cannot use them on my Singer Curvy machine. I think anyone buying this package thinking they will work well on their sewing machine, should consult their manual first.

Honest reviews on Polyester Sewing Thread Set - 24 Spools (200 Yards Each)

For inexpensive thread, this does the trick. It's tough enough you have to cut it, not just pull and break it. Uniform thickness and finish, goes through the sewing machine just fine. Why pay more for colors you may only use once?

I bought this thread, because I bought a new sewing machine.

I am only on the first spool of dark blue thread.

I found that it starts unraveling and I need to pull all of it out of the threader and start all over again.

Also, it's not spooled correctly, so I find that again, I have to pull all of it out of the machine and try to straighten it out on the spool, to start again. maybe it's just the one roll, but I don't know yet.

I don't like to sew and all I really do, is mend some things.

When I have this much trouble, it makes me less likely to use my new machine.

Thanks!
