This is the third I order this thread. I make totes with burlap coffee bags and I needed a strong and thick thread for the job that wouldn't be too costly. After researching on Amazon and reading lots of reviews I decided on this one.
My first two orders perfectly fine, I was able to even use this thread for finer details without compromising the quality of the final product. I was so happy that I placed another order.
Except that this time I was having a lot of trouble with the thread knotting up, unraveling, and fraying.
I had several orders to finish up and deliver before Christmas and no time to wait for another order to be delivered.
So I got online and went through reviews again to see if I had missed something, anything. And I am so glad I did because I had in fact missed the main thing, which was to use the appropriate size needle for the thickness of the thread. This is a T-70 which requires either a size 16/100 or an 18/110.
I was using the 16/100, which worked for the first couple of cones I ordered, but oddly didn't work for the third time around. Upon switching to a size 18/110, the very same cone that was giving me so much trouble was working without any problems, no unraveling, no knotting up, no fraying. I was able to finish up all my orders and keep using the thread with no incidents whatsoever.
This thread is a great value for your money. It is super strong, and there is no way you are able to break it using your hands. With that being said, if it gets knotted it will most likely break the needle before the thread breaks off. that's how strong it is.
So if you are having a problem with fraying and knotting I would check your needle size to make sure it is appropriate. Just because you used the same size tread from another brand with a specific needle size does not mean that you will be able to use it with this thread as well.
I have sewn several bags with this thread and they are SUPER strong.
I will update this review if I have any problems in the future but in the meantime, I am ordering more of this thread in different colors.
I am very happy with it and I do recommend it!

People mentioned the tread breaking, fraying, not working on their machine, etc...
If you know how to adjust/use your sewing machine, you can buy this in all confidence.
See the attached images. I love how shiny and vibrant the color is.
Arrived a day early, so yes, I'm a satisfied buyer :)
