When I received my embroidery machine I knew that I wanted to have a good selection of thread colors on hand. I purchased a set of 63 spools of 40 weight Polyester Embroidery Machine Thread by Embroidex. I love the colors and the thread is a nice quality at a good price. When I opened the first spool I found a small problem – when I put the spool on the machine the label would be useless.
I found a solution that works for me – and hopefully will help newbies out! After unwrapping the thread I removed the label slowly so it doesn’t tear. With a bent tweezer I placed the label on the inside of the spool. I also write the color number on the top an bottom edges of the spool with a Sharpie marker. This has worked out really well for me.
If you have additional tips please share in a comment!

I put the #s on my spools too, Anton Robison, but never thought to put the little paper with the name inside the spool. Although I can find the name of the color by the #. Thank you

Very true – but having that label I hope reordering will be easier when the time comes.

I save the paper to the inside of my holder also write #.
I am having a hard time finding a single spool of embroidex thread #337. Do you know where I can purchase it? Or any other single spools of embroidex.

Hi! My Embroidex thread colors all have 4 digits. Are you possibly looking for Brother thread #337?

Maybe. Received a box of thread for Christmas. Only thing it says on the box is embroidex #337 on ten spool.
