Is the thread included in this sewing basket kit good quality? Will it work well in a sewing machine? Thank you.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

Absolutely!! I got this machine when I was 18 as my very first sewing machine. I am completely self taught and still have this machine after 7 years, and I do use it quite a lot! Read the manual very carefully and always consider checking online for tutorials and instructions on basic sewing. I highly recommend to save yourself some troubleshooting that you always change needles with each project to the proper weight and type of needle and only use Gutterman or Metteler brand thread. (Don't use Coats & Clark or dollar store/cheap thread, cuz it will break and wind itself on the inside of your machine.)

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......

It is Threadart Brand. For more information go to their website. I have had good results with this thread. Polyester is not as shiny as rayon embroidery thread but it still looks gread. I really like the way you can secure the thread on the spool.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

Good question! I bought this and overall I enjoy it. The thread is not great quality. It does tend to snag on some fabrics. I am not sure the makeup of the thread, but for the price - you would not expect top quality cotton. It is a fine started pack and once you are done with those spools, you can replace with cotton of your choice. It is a handy storage system.

I'm sorry that I can't help you much; I haven't tried using that type of thread with any needle. I believe that embroidery needles have wider eyes, and top-stitching needles have longer eyes than the denim needles (which are designed primarily to penetrate heavy fabrics.) One of those might work better for you. Good luck!

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

The difference between sewing and embroidery machine that sewing thread is more stronger and thicker. On the other hand, embroidery is very thin and thin. It is not a good idea to sew a project with embroidery thread, more likely the project will tear apart very soon. I will recommend to check polyester sewing thread. It will be good for any fabric and very strong.

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

Thread I got with mine was tan in color, i ordered an extra spool and it was black. Needle was average size no idea what size that is but it works good on heavy canvas.

This does have a shine. Not sure why that would be an issue. I can only say that this thread has worked superbly in a machine that has not worked well with ANY other bobbin threads I have tried-shine/no shine, bobbins I have wound/other brands of pre-wound.

Yes, totally fine. As a somewhat cheaper thread, it is more prone to breaking and tangling than other better-made embroidery floss, but it is completely serviceable for making friendship bracelets. Personally, I would recommend combining cheap thread with some better thread in each bracelet if you can afford it, as I really have found this thread to tangle much easier than some other brands. All that said, if this is all that fits your price point then there's no question that it works just fine for bracelet making. Clear nail polish can be used on the ends to help prevent fraying.

Machine is per threaded with white. Needles included. You will need to purchase more spools of the colors you need. The machine is prethreaded so you can tie your new thread on and it feeds through - no need to thread yourself. Joanne's fabrics has two different quality of threads ranging from $1.00 to a better quality 3-4$. Hope this helps!

Not sure. There is nothing on the box or in the instructions that say what thread is included. However, I do not think it is the "Fine", either 160 or 170. The instructions say you have to get a special needle for the fine thread. So, I would guess it comes with either 140 or 150 "Coarse" thread. You could check their website www.speedystitcher.com . Maybe you could fine the info there or ask them.

The prewound bobbins work fine, I have used each thread and have enjoyed my sewing machine and this kit.
