I purchased several of maxilock cone threads over the yrs since getting my brother serger.  At first I was worried with buying this brand since it is less expensive compared to some of the other cone threads.  I haven't had any problems with the thread either using it in my machines or completed in my projects.  Washes up well, dosent seem "hairy" like some other cheaper threads and dosent bleed (i've tried at least a dozen or so darker colors including various reds,pinks and blues)  Overall I like and will continue to use it
