SASHIKO Thread Thin 40M Card - Yellow 204

I love this thread because of its quality and strength. This is the thin version of the thread; having used this brand thread in both thicknesses, I can say that I prefer the thicker version over this one. However, this is still an excellent thread, perfect for stitching and mending in general, and for Shashiko stitching in particular. I bought it to use it in my artwork on paper or small pieces of fabric and does the job; it's great for flat stitching, not as much as as for embroidery as it doesn't have the volume and thickness necessary for that. I love the flat bobbin format, as it's easy to put away, the thread does not get entangled and it has a rabbet to hold the thread tip neatly. Needless to say, I love this thread bright intense colour.

LEONIS 30 Color PolyesterThread Set (45 m/50 yds ea)

I bought this pack to use it for stitching in my artwork. The mix of colours is lovely and varied and includes the main colour families. The bobbins are half the size, or less, of average bobbins (see my photo), but that doesn't bother me as I won't be using them to sew garments or in big projects. What bothers me is the quality of the thread, which is average, not good; as the thread is quite thin, I need to use it doubled so that it's noticeable on the paper. The needle threader is handy but it's also paper thin. The container box is nice and handy to keep all the bobbins tidily stored.
