Despite the low price, Coats Epic is an excellent sewing thread with superb quality. The reason why I can keep the low price is because I buy directly from Coats and don't need to go through a costly chain. Additionally I run the webshop alone and have very low expenses like rent, administration etc.

Coats is the world's largest maker of sewing threads. For hobby sewers they may be less known because Coats focus more on the industrial segment than the domestic. Many of the store-bought clothes in your wardrobe are most likely sewn with this thread.

Epic actually have better specifications than Mara. It's both stronger and more elastic. Though we're talking about merely 3% difference, but it's still a better thread. Aesthetically Epic is not as smooth as Mara, where the latter one is in a league of it's own. On non-visible seams it doesn't mean anything at all.

If you're used to random, noname threads then Epic would be like heaven for you. Many problems and issues with your sewing machine might in fact be due to bad sewing threads. Sewing thread is extremely important for a seam. You simply can't sew without a thread! So your choice of sewing thread really makes a big difference.

Quite many people don't realize the importance of good sewing threads. Sewing equipments can be rather costly and it's tempting to save a few euros on the threads. In reality the amount of thread in each project is much less than you think, so the net saving is merely a few cents per garment*.

While you may save a few cents you'll suffer from more frequent thread breaking, uneven seams and trouble with the sewing machine. Most of us sew for fun in our free time and bad threads shouldn't ruin the joy.

* Calculation:
Random "noname" thread: € 1.6 for 1000m, Coats Epic: € 2.4 for 1000m, consumption in this example: 50m thread.
Savings: (€ 2.4 - € 1.6) / 1000m * 50m = € 0.04 = 4¢
