Don't understand the question. Can you elaborate?

I searched for over 30 minutes and the only thing I found was a company in China that makes floss and puts it in boxes that say DMC Made in France. It also says that the colors are similar to DMC but not the same. The company is Zheyang Qingchum Thread Company. It says the thread is CXC. I am wondering if the QC you mention isn't a fraudulent floss. If someone else has some information I would like to know. I am really curious about this now.

I've never heard of it either. By wrapping do you mean winding it onto bobbins?

Please write us what the whole label says.

Yes bobbins, lol and they are a QC brand off of amazon.com. Maybe Korean I think? It's from the thread nanny
An example is: QC329. But there is a smaller number at bottom that is (947)? Someone old me if I use this brand to not mix the DMC brand because the shades are different. That's true I have a B5200 on both and they are duffernt shades. Not much though but enough to be noticeable.

I went to the Amazon site that sells this Thread Nanny floss and I think it is the same floss made by that Chinese company I mentioned before. I think it would be all right if it is NOT mixed with the actual DMC floss. Did you check it for color fastness? I would check it before I used it. No more than DMC costs for my money I will stick the actual DMC floss.

Let the Chat know how it stitches up. DMC & Anchor are both long staple Egyptian cotton. That could make a difference in lint & how it holds its shine.

Been to the Amazon website. I think the ad is fraudulent. Implies it's DMC or exactly like it. The small numbers are supposed to be DMC matches, but one reviewer said at least 5were totally wrong.

I have ordered from Amazon before & as far as xstitching, it isn't worth it. I don't believe it is DMC. It is important to get all the floss of one color you need at the same time so the shades are the same.
If you get the same color at different times, you can see a difference in the shade.
