New brothread embroidery thread 8-spool set Over Rainbow — 40wt polyester 1000m each in clear stackable box

This New brothread Over Rainbow collection supplies eight carefully chosen colours of 100% polyester machine embroidery thread, each on a 1000m (1100yd) snapping spool with a locking base. The kit arrives in a clear plastic box that stacks or hangs, so you can see colour numbers at a glance and keep your sewing area tidy. These threads are sized for machine embroidery and general sewing use, compatible with popular embroidery machine brands.

How do these threads reduce tangles and wasted time?

Each spool includes an integrated locking base that secures the thread tail to prevent unwinding inside the box or during storage. That reduces the need for separate thread nets, huggers, or manual taping and keeps spools ready for immediate use.

• Snapping spool with locking base prevents thread tails from slipping free
• Clear storage box keeps spools separated to avoid cross-tangling
• No extra thread holders required for most projects
• Box hook option allows vertical storage to further reduce movement

What are the fibre qualities and how do they perform on machines?

Made from 100% polyester, these threads offer consistent strength, colour fastness, and a satin-like sheen suitable for decorative stitching. Polyester's elasticity and tensile strength help minimize breakage, looping, and puckering when used at recommended tensions on modern embroidery machines.

• 40wt thread weight for fine detail and smooth fills
• High tensile strength reduces snapping under machine speeds
• Colour fastness helps maintain hue after washing and handling
• Compatible with Brother, Janome, Singer, Pfaff, Husqvarna, Bernina and similar machines

What storage and organization benefits does the box provide?

The kit's clear plastic box is designed to stack and hang, keeping spools organized while conserving workspace. Transparent sides let you identify colour shades and numbers quickly without opening each compartment, which speeds selection during multi-colour projects.

• Stackable design to expand storage as your collection grows
• Clear sides for instant colour and numbering visibility
• Interior space suitable for small notions like needles or bobbins
• Built-in hook allows wall hanging to save table space

How many yards per spool and which projects are ideal?

Each spool contains 1000 meters (1100 yards) of 40wt polyester thread, giving you long runs between spool changes for medium to large projects. The weight and length make this set useful for multi-piece embroidery, decorative topstitching, applique, and general machine sewing where a lustrous finish is desired.

• 1000m (1100yd) per spool — fewer spool swaps for large designs
• 40wt suitable for detailed embroidery and light-to-medium fabrics
• Useful for appliqué, monogramming, and decorative seams
• Eight-colour Over Rainbow selection covers common contrast and highlight needs

Who this is for: sewists and machine embroiderers who want a compact, ready-to-use colour set that reduces setup fuss and storage clutter. It's a practical refill option for crafters who already own a larger colour assortment but need select shades for specific projects, and for hobbyists seeking polyester thread with reliable strength and sheen compatible with most home embroidery machines.
