This New brothread kit supplies forty colors of polyester embroidery thread, with 500 meters on each 40-weight spool. The manufacturer provides a color chart using Brother color references and explicitly says the kit does not include a wood rack. It is an upper-thread assortment, not a set of bobbins or a machine starter kit.[1]
Consider it when your planned designs genuinely use multiple colors. Compare their thread charts with the assortment before buying; a large color count does not prove that every shade in a design is included. The manufacturer distinguishes its Brother-chart and Janome-chart assortments, so keep the exact set identity with your project notes rather than relying on a similar box photograph.[1]
Thread selection still belongs in a complete sample setup. Check the machine’s upper-thread guidance, spool handling, needle and design requirements, then evaluate the fabric and backing together. This catalog does not certify the fit of every spool on every machine or repeat performance claims as test results. Budget separately for model-specified bobbin thread and suitable stabilizer. The kit can supply a useful palette, but it does not remove the need for a representative stitch-out before the final project.[1]
These notes summarize source research, not hands-on testing. Confirm model specifications, included accessories, and the seller listing before buying.
Fit calculations compare rectangular dimensions only. They do not establish mechanical hoop compatibility or stitch quality.
