Try www.threadart.com I use that thread too. I paid more but even at the higher price it was worth every penny! I have a Bernina and it works just fine. They also sell the BIG spools - I love the BIG spools lol

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this sale but I was just surfing the net checking out sites for future purchases of embroidery thread. I just recently bought a Brother PE780D so I was looking to find good sites for thread and stablizers. I found Designsbysick.com and saw their threads which could be purchased thru a link that led to embroiderypassion.com. When I saw 25 cents a spool it was a no brainer to buy a bunch! Even if turn out to be not so good thread from embroidery I'll use it for something and not have lost any money! I did try a couple of small designs using this thread and it seemed to work fine for me! Of course I am a beginner so my designs are not elaborate at this time. Hey, face it! I am a sucker for a clearence sale or any kind of a great sale wether I need whats on sale or not! lol

I went to embroiderypassion.com and found their 25 cent thread..but I am confused....in their 50 thread assortment, they show 9 colors...so do you get an assortment of those 9 colors, or are they just picked over and not too many left now? They don't say anything to clarify that I could find?

I see you bought these from Design by Sick. I bought a similar set about 3 years ago. I was excited too at first but have since found this thread breaks much easier than the better brands (like Sulky, etc.).
I'm sorry to have to share this but I'm just not happy with this thread and use it now mostly for tests to use it up.
On a separate note, if the design isn't too dense, it works better. Or, if I slow down my stitching speed.
Before anyone else says it -- yes, I made sure I was using the correct needle LOL
BUT....maybe you'll have better luck than I did. I guess bottomline....No, I would not buy from them again.
ThreadArt has fairly good quality. I have tried theirs and it's better.
