Mary - I am not sure what you want the color names for because most designs give the color numbers. I love my Madeira threads and wish I had spent all that wasted money on cheap thread on Madeira instead. But, I know better now. Let us know what projects you are working on so we can see the beauty in...

Hi, Gladysbu55 (I know your real name but I won't use it here on the forum!), I will send you an e-mail separately, but I wanted to answer here on the forums as well. You're probably asking the wrong person, cuz I love the PE-700, as you may have seen from the video of me gushing about it on...

Great thought process of prioritzing your purchases Cathy! All avenues of embroidering, sewing, quilting can be a very expensive proposition. I took it slow on the purchases for machine embroidery through the years because of possible overkill gadgets. 1. FINALLY, purchased on ATG site, the Havels 5...

Borden - you are so right! I love the spools with a 'self-locking' spot, but the cheap threads don't have that feature. This self-adhering tape idea is fab!! I had thought about trying adhesive tape but did not use it because it would leave residue on the thread. I had tried rubber bands...

I got the idea from my hubby, he does the...

I have been eyeing that Thread Chest too. The reality is that the spools are costing less than $2.00 each which is really a bargain. I look at my 'makeshift' chest of threads I have purchased over time and I have a mess with loose strings everywhere, I have no idea what I do and do not have,...

I use the Madeira Thread Treasure Chest for many of my projects, and love it. I really like the fact that the thread slots are labeled so you know where to put the thread back and can see what you're running out of. I do wish that the poly thread chest didn't cost so much more tho. I have switched...

LOVE IT! When I first began machine embroidering, I purchased the Madeira Embroidery Thread Box containing 80 spools of thread. It served its' purpose at the time. It was half the cost of the Madeira Embroidery Thread Chest.However, I was continually looking for colors that did not exist in this...

I got my Madeira treasure chest when I first started embroidering several years ago. Since I hadn't built up a thread stash, it was great because I could usually find the color I needed or a good substitute. However, my local sewing store has started carrying larger spools of a different brand and...

Hi Ann, I am fairly new to this embroidery endeavor, and the first thing I purchased was the Medeira Thread Treasure Chest. I was thrilled with the great variety of colors and had great success in making my gt. grandchildren each a quilt containing blocks of my own embroidery. Thanks for all your help...
