Works great on my home sewing machine!

Great for my home sewing machine! I sew with Singer Heavy Duty 4423. I have not "fully" tested this thread daily (I sew 4-8 hours a day, 5-7 days a week). I used this thread as a top stitch and it went well through 4 layers of 9 oz duck canvas and well through 3 layers of 6-7 oz leather. I then tested it as bobbin thread and needle thread, then I adjusted the tension to around 4-5, it didn't stall my machine at all! I am very happy with it, had problems with it before. The thread looks professional over the skin, and the stitching (haha, got it?) taught you how to hold the skin! Have also used it on hemp waxed canvas and it looks great! Overall I love this theme, first impressions and prices are GREAT! I have already ordered another color! I will update this review over the next month or so if there are any issues with this thread, not updating this review probably means this theme is fine for my uses! Definitely impressed and excited! Also to the reviews that say it's not good for hand sewing, I used waxed thread and it looks professional and causes almost no problems.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
