Again, it doesn't break while I am using it. Ever. But if you try to break it, it breaks far more easily than the 3-ply mettler 50, for example. I often do this with bobbins to double-check whether or not I have dual-duty, polyester, or cotton on it. (They're labeled, but a mistake is always possible.). I do it sometimes to verify a 60 weight from a 50.
So, it's something I've noticed.
The 2-ply part is likely why, to me, it makes as beautiful a satin stitch as a 60-weight cotton. It can be broken about as easily. I'll bet it is wonderful for dense quilting. It wouldn't be my first choice for piecing, though.
