Etsy wants a typed review on sewing thread...so here you go! It's exactly what you ordered: DMC thread, so it's always of excellent quality - and shipping is so fast! And on top of that? My local crafting stores always have messy thread sections that are disorganized, and are always out of stock on any color I need (310 being notorious, but you'd be surprised what other colors are never in stock)...so it's a boon to be able to come back to JD and know I can find what I need, and have it in time to dig into that new project I'm craving to break into! (Expect to see this review a few times...I've bought a lot of thread, ha!)... Show more

Always use the classics. It’s the best!
Very soft and free from tangles or knots. Some inferior embroidery floss has knots or is prone to tangling or fuzzes up on your cloth.. not DMC. It’s a classic standard for a reason and the price via Walmart is the best! Looks fabulous in my embroidery and also was perfect for a fun cross stitch project I just finished! (Pattern courtesy ‘the witchy stitcher’)... Show more

Embroidery floss to make all dreams come true
This one particular skein of embroidery floss was the most highly sought after color in our home of homeschooled creative kiddos. Mama wanted to use it for a birthday project for a family member. Sister wanted to use it for her first ever independent embroidery project. Brother thought it would make the perfect color in his WW2 tank embroidery project. Yep you read that right. Our son thought this color would perfectly define the features of a PC3 J1 tank. No “bless this home” project. No cute puppies looking at you from a basket. Tank embroidery folks… this one skein was fought over in the aisle of the store, in who would hold the bag on the way out, who would hold it in the truck on the way home and where it would sit before it was used in literally ALL the ...

It's worth the wait
There is nothing to dislike about DMC embroidery thread. The colors are marvelous and peek the imagination for many applications. The choices of color in-store are limited so shoppers looking for home delivery are in competition with people that can go to the physical store. I'm just going to make up my mind to deal with online shopping issues. Oh, must mention at between 53 cents- 66 cents a skein the price Walmart has the lowest prices I've paid.... Show more

My kind of Floss
I always prefer to use DMC Embroidery Floss to other brands. The colors are so numerous that you can get shade variations that allow you to find the one that exactly fits your project. The regular floss does not shred or pile as you pull the thread through the Aida cloth or other material. One skein can last for many different projects depending on your use of that color. I will stick with this brand.... Show more

Out of my color!
I usually buy floss from Michaels for counted cross stitch. There was a particular DMC color I needed and when I went to the correct bin, I saw just one left so I picked it up. After paying at the register and going out the door, I took a second look at the floss. It was not the correct DMC number. OOPS!! When I returned to the store, the cashier graciously allowed me to double check for the DMC number I needed. Unfortunately, there were none that matched the number. Apparently, someone previously had put the wrong floss in the bin and I picked it up. I also noticed that some of the other bins had misfiled floss. Oh well, I did get my money back, but then I had to go to another store.... Show more

Perfect vibrant pink!
Perfect shade of vibrant pink! I used this on a friendship bracelet for a strawberry cow design and it was beautiful. I wasn’t sure it would work out with the other colors I chose at first but the more I worked with it the more I fell in love with the color. DMC threads are always a pleasure to work with. They’re soft and durable and don’t break easily like other brands. I always like to work with DMC if I can. I do wish it was a bit cheaper per skein though since I go through so much.... Show more

Review of DMC Stranded Cotton
I have done cross stitch for many years and had amassed are large quantity of DMC cottons. I decided to use them up and started a large cross stitch pattern from one of the books I have but found I did not have quite enough of some of the colours. As I find it difficult to get out and about now, and have shopped with you for knitting wools and saw that you sold the DMC threads it was easy to order them from you. Delivery was very quick ,and I must say the price was better than our Hobbycraft store. I shall noe be buying all my embroidery supplies from you. Thank you.... Show more

Saved by the thread.
In a moment of whimsy, I decided to embroider sunflowers around the buttonholes of a rather drab green linen dress. I started well but it soon became evident that I would be running short of my yellow threads. To complicate matters, I had used two different shades of yellowy orange or orangey yellow. A quick visit to the embroidery thread stand in Hobbycraft and the problem is solved. Onward with the sunflowers. . . .and I must admit they are very pretty and they brighten up the dress remarkably.... Show more

Terrible shipping experience
This is the first place I’ve placed an order and had that one order sent to me in multiple shipments in a span of three weeks. Like, serger spool of a green color in one shipment, another shipment of the same color in another shipment, a spool of khaki thread in another, two spools in a third, and my DMC threads in another. I think I might have gotten five different shipments for one order. The DMC threads came to me in the worst state of packaging. It was in a poly bag, and the threads were not in any protective bag or anything. The poly bag had holes and rips in many places, and the embroidery threads were frayed from the damage. I will continue to buy my embroidery threads from the DMC official site. I know the actual company will care about the quality of their ...

As far as Joann, if I need anything from them, I’ll just order for pick up at store, or go to the store itself. I’ve had better experience that way, and I get my items more quickly. Of course, most of the items I asked to be shipped were out of stock at the store nearest me.... Show more
