Anyone have this thread set?

From what I can find out from others who have this thread, it's like Aurifil. I ordered a set to find out. It's a great sale price even if I end up using it for basting thread.

Can't answer you on the thread but it looks to be nice. Yet I have a question on that link, I see there is a member price and have you used that site before? Is it worth it or do you get overloaded with spam?

Thanks, I just ordered this. I'm going to start doing portraits this yr. For Christmas I'm going to try and do my son's dog who died with a yr after saving the family's lives from a fire. I just did my first digitized design. Its a take on the Happy Daisy quilt, I changed the design so that it looks more like a daisy and it stitches out great. A few more tweeks and it'll be perfect. I'm so proud of this, I don't want to limit myself to others designs, especially when I paid so much for my software that allows me to do more. It is a great thread price so even if I only use it to test designs on, you can't beat the price. I know Floriani has a skin color set and it's pricey.

Shoppersrule is a popular site to buy sewing items. The membership is just your email and password. I use gmail and don't get spam at all but I doubt that site sends spam. It get personal email from them if I have a question about a product. I've never had a problem. I buy most of my Go dies from them. The newsletter specials are always great buys.

No, but I'd snap it up at that price.

Aurifil makes poly thread. I have many mini cones of the solid colors before it was changed to variegated. Most think Aurifil makes only cotton thread because that's all the quilt shops sell. Also I have the super big cones of 60wt and 80 wt Aurifil cotton.

I have an old microscope and look at different thread brands under it. I can tell in a glance which brands are smooth, no slubs, not hairy looking. I will definitely look at this thread next to the Aurifil and other brands I like. Lots of good brand thread has thin and thick spots and slubs. I was surprised.

This is definitely a different brand and is polyester. You could probably use it on an embroidery machine.

I have bought other items from them, not thread, and not had a problem.

No but it is poly. I ordered a rulers several years ago and it was broken . They never made it right so I don't order from them any more. Learned my lesson.
