Review on 🧵 Polyester Sewing Assortment for Stitching and Quilting by Amy Mcleod

Well I have for 92 colors from 100 spools paid for everything, but I didn't. I received 4 bright optical whites and 4 blacks as advertised, which should have left 92 unique colors. What I have is an absolutely stunning array of colors, but since each one comes in a compressed cellophane wrapper, it took me nearly an hour of arduous work to unwrap them with dull scissors. It was very frustrating. I was amazed to see the awesome coils, but after aligning everything to see what I had to work with, I noticed 7 duplicates. So 14 spools of thread matched and I was left with only 85 unique colors. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I'm missing most of the skin tones and some yellows alongside other colors when comparing this to the advertised photo. I have duplicates of warm white (over and over 4 optical whites), charcoal, dark sand, wheat, bubblegum, cornflower, and gray turquoise. I'd prefer something that's advertised, which I've spent a lot of money on (that's a thread!). These are definitely duplicates; As a designer, I'm used to coloring maps in up/down shades. One of the reasons they're incredible is that you really have almost everything you need (if you can get all 92 colors) because some of them come very close to visual matching, which is really a bit more/less saturated. It really is a beautiful set. I would say 70% of the coils require a magnifying glass or a flashlight with a needle to pry the end out. (I'm not hurt in any way - the end of the coil is covered in most cases). The company shows how it's done on its website. I appreciate it but would have preferred to have the end of the thread hooked into the notch. What I received is a very good handcrafted quality with great durability, little to no lint and an impressive range of colours. But I'm really disappointed I spent the money and didn't get what was advertised because I don't need 7 duplicates; I wanted 7 additional colors advertised.
