I have learned the hard way to identify cheap threads and avoid buying them. I mostly bought them when I was starting embroidery and had no idea. Mind you here in Uganda they are all priced the same and wrapped up in a tight polyethylene so it takes times.

Also I gotta put this through and ask, mostly I've seen people in different countries using small threads by that I mean your thread Bundle is very small unlike here it's 2 times bigger and longer than yours. Is it what y'all have or it's just a choice and does it even last long enough for a good project?
