Machine Embroidery thread & Amazon
 

Has anyone purchased and used any of the machine
embroidery thread from Amazon?

I made a purchase and received my orders last week
bought the following (see pictures below). I have not
yet tried any of these threads out as I have been having
to much fun learning my new sewing family addition, which
is my Brother Innov-is 1500D. LOVE LOVE LOVE the machine.
So much quieter and easier to use than my old NV1000 machine.


12 spools of BRIGHT thread

20 spools metallics

Gold & Silver metallics 5,000 yard each spools.
When I made the purchase I missed seeing that
last zero and thought I was getting 1,000 yard
spools not a combined 10,000 yards. HOLY COW
are these spools HUGE.

To get an idea of how much bigger the big spools of metallics
are compared to regular sized spools.

wow, such a great deal on thread!

:D You'll be quilting with gold & silver FOREVER! This reminds me of an old Girl Scout song "Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold". You must have lots of friends.

I "hope" to be making a lot of FSL ornaments this year with the
gold and silver as well as all the other metallic colors I have.

What a huge spool of thread, how would you use that?

What brand of thread is it and was it a good deal, all of it I mean.

What brand of thread is it?

The "brand name on the bright colors is: Embroidex
It seemed to work ok, but only did a little bit of wording
with it.
cost was: $13.99 (sold out, they do not know if they will
be getting anymore)

The brand name on the 20 spools of metallic is: threadsRus
I have not yet tried this thread yet, plan on it very soon though.
cost was: $58.95

As for the jumbo spools of gold & silver metallic they are same brand
as the other metallic (threadsRus).
cost was: $12.90 this IS a fantastic cost
(I spend more than that on 1 spool of Floriani metallic)

I got it all on Amazon.

I also stocked up on plastic bobbins for my Brother machines AWESOME
pricing!!

I get my Prewound bobbins @ Threatart.com, they have pretty good prices. It takes an "a", they seem to be a little higher than the "L" ,I gets 144 for about $38.00, I get the plastic bobbins, and can re use them on my Decorator"s Choice (Baby Lock), can't use them on my Baby Lock Quest, different size bobbin. I have about 300 on hand, at this point.
