This is a neat little kit with most items you might need for a sewing emergency, including a number of tiny spools of thread and a good variety of needles. As it happened, I had just noticed a small jagged tear in a throw near by, so I decided to fix it while I had the kit in hand. Everything went wel l (nice size needle, scissors, right color thread) until I started pulling the thread off the spool. First several inches worked dfine, then it started criscrossing under, over, caught. I could not get anymore thread. After much frustration, picking and pullin thread out over, under with my needle, I finally got enough to stitch a bit more. However, the thread pieces I could pull offwere so short I did not have enough to tie off securely. Not happy. GUYS, You have a nice little product, spend a little more on thread that will roll off the spool evenly. If I needed my little sewing ki t to fix an item I needed to wear and this was all I had to fix it with, I would not be a happy camper.
