Fabulous Thread Stash
I love Missouri Star thread. My high speed machines love it as well due to the low shredding and lint release. The thread is consistently uniform and strong. The thread, combined with the storage case, is a winner in my opinion.

Great selection of colors; good bargain.
Excellent quality cotton thread for piecing. Good selection of colors. Low lint and never breaks -- indistinguishable from Aurifil. I prefer these mini cones because the bottom cap opens up to stash the end and keep it tidy. The box arrived badly broken up, but the thread is the star of this package. I'll just have to get another thread box elsewhere.

Add a couple of layers of the box
I admit that this was an impulse purchase. I normally just buy thread as I need it, but the stash builder was on sale so I took a chance. The thread color assortment is very nice and includes all the basics: white, black, navy, several grays, a couple of creamy shades. The other “colors” are useful ones. Think aqua, yellow, pink, blues. My only suggestion is to add a couple of empty boxes to the set. I now have this nice, clear, stacking box full of thread, and I still have a drawer with my...

I love all the choice of colors. I always find one to match my project. It's different working with all cotton, it likes to curl at the needle, rather than laying straight like other threads. So it may tangle up when starting to sew. You have to hold it out of the way when starting to sew. I like that it came in it's own container, it keeps all the threads clean and sorted. I place my bobbin in with the thread when I'm done with a project, so I have a matching thread.

Great thread stash builder
I bought this product on a whim during a quick visit to the MSQ store. I liked that it was heavily discounted and that it has a large variety of thread colors. Prior to this I used Gutermann thread but I didn’t like the restricted color choices it offered especially in the large spools. The MSQ thread is 50 wt and comes in 500 yd spools. Plenty of yardage to complete that project. I’m finding it works well.

I love my new collection of threads in the handy organized case. It stays right by my machine.
I love all the colors! It's like a Crayola 64 pack when I was a kid. I like that it's all nice and neat in one container. I'm using it for a few bindings and an Irish Change.

Got it Covered!
The threads are beautiful colors, but there are also plenty of neutrals….so enough to work for any project. I’m always buying thread for my quilts but I don’t have any good shops out here in rural Ohio. Now I don’t have to constantly search online for what I’ll need. Great value!

I gave it 3 stars because when I opened the package there wasn’t any packing material and the top is broken. I did reach out to see if it’s possible to purchase a new top but haven’t heard anything. I have been pleased with everything else I’ve purchased before.
