Mandala Crafts 40S/2 White Polyester 4 Pack of Serger Threads Cones

Purchased a set of five 6000-yard spools of 40-weight 2-ply polyester thread in black, white, and three neutral colors. I've done occasional machine sewing for 30 years, but know little about the craft. Since purchasing this thread, I've sewed several hundred feet in face masks and dust covers for antique radios with good results and no problems. The thread comes on conical spools, which I believe are for a serger (I haven't got a clue what a serger is. I don't even know if serging is legal in Idaho!) Other reviewers noted that these spools do work on a standard machine even though they're wobbly. I chose to make a simple spool adapator from an empty standard thread spool. As shown in the photo, I ground off the flange from one end of the spool, then inserted it the bottom of the serger spool. It fits snugly and can easily be removed and reused with a different serger spool. Some reviewers commented on lint from the thread. I took a photo comparing the Mandala thread (bottom in photo) to 20-year-old Coates & Clark Dual Duty Cotton-Polyester (top in photo). Photo was taken after the products were threaded through a standard machine and pulled through a universal 90/14 needle. The cotton covering of the Mandala thread is not as tightly bound as the old Coates & Clark. So, maybe it's not the best quality, but for my sewing it doesn't make a difference. Others have commented that some spools seem less-filled than others. I found this to be the case, and estimated the discrepancy by weighing the spools. My five spools varied by less than 10 percent. Although some would assume this indicates a shortage, one could just as easily assume than the smallest spool was a full 6,000 yards and the others had extra thread. In either case, the product is so inexpensive that this issue merits little consideration. I'm perfectly happy with my purchase. For my purposes, this will be more than a lifetime supply, and I would buy it again if Amazon delivers to heaven.

Very good

This is an excellent product for your surgery. It is not shred or lent. I will certainly buy it again. It’s 3 to 5000 yards per school depending on what you order and for surging garments pillowcases crafts you can’t be the price.

This thread works perfectly in my serger, no knots or kinks in the line (so no breakage) which I sometimes get even with Gutterman threads. The giant spools fit fine on my Brother 1034D serger and an excellent dollar value. The color is exactly as described and as pictured in the ad. Coral is a difficult color to buy on line, many are either pink or orange and I'm shocked that this coral is an Exact match for the huge stash of beautiful coral knit fabric I discovered when doing my sewing room overhaul. I see the name Mandala Crafts a lot on Amazon and now I'll trust the name after this proof of quality.

It says polyester but it is frayed worse than my older serger thread from 20 - 40 years ago almost like tiny yarn. It really looks like cotton to me and very loosely wound but it is very strong. I can break cotton thread with my hands but I cannot break this thread. Im happy with my purchase. Any fuzziness is on the inside of the garment so no biggy for my purposes.

May favorite to use. The thread doesn’t break easily as others have in my serger. Super easy to thread through and always gives a nice bright color add on my kiddo’s clothes.

I have used this serger thread on multiple projects with no issues. The quality is excellent – the thread didn’t break and it fed easily through my machine.

First time bought was very good. However when I purchased it again, a different item was sent. It was less than half the amount of thread, and without packaging.

A way brighter yellow serger thread than the pale butter one my local store sells. AWESOME

I’m very impressed with this cotton but it is too big for your average serger machine. The reels are huge. They would not stand next to each other , so I had to use a small reel of cotton in similar colour to second spool . As these are far to big to go next to each other. It’s a little thicker than most cottons and severs beautifully.

Me gustó, como lo esperaba.

Totally not what I expected. Thread was too thick, my serger did not work with it very well as I was using it for delicate sheer fabric and satin. spools were huge.. waste of my money
