I was excited when I found this item because I was starting a cross-stitch quilt top and wanted to do it in shades of blue, so I though this might be easier and cheaper then having to go out and buy everything individually. However, from the picture I thought the blues would be more closely related then they were. 3 of the blues had more of a blue undertone, while the other 3 had more of a turquoisey-blue/green undertone, which is fine if you aren't planning on using them all in the same project or that's what you're going for, but for my purposes they didn't really look right together, so I can only use 1/2 of the pack which is kind of disappointing, but at least I'm glad I bought 2 packs. As far a quality, it's just okay. When separating out the threads (i.e. pulling out 2 of the 6 strands to do the stitches with) the separated strands don't stay together very well, so I am constantly having to go back and fix the stitches where on strand has pulled all the way through but the other strand has bubbled up. I've done projects like this before that came with their own thread and this is the first time I've ever had this issue, which over the course of an entire queen sized quilt top will probably get increasingly more irritating. So all-in-all the product is okay. I took away one star because it wasn't what I had expected and I really can't use half of what I bought, and one star because I don't feel the quality is that great.
