    Default Cotton Thread 30 Percent off

    I orderd Essential Cotton cones 5000 yds per spool at Connecting threads. Great price. How do you like this thread?

    I use thread from there all the time. It is a bit linty (nature of the cotton beast) so be prepared to clean out the bobbin space often, but it is good thread and doesn't break often.

    I didn't find it too linty at all. My bobbin area looks the same when I change bobbins as it does when I use Aurifil, Masterpiece, or any other good thread. The Bernina tech told me it was all in the thread guides how much lint goes in the machine. Older machines has all outside thread guides so most of the lint gets taken away by air movement. The newer machines the thread guides are inside the machine so no place for the lint to go so it builds up. He said keep that in mind when choosing thread.

    Love Connecting Threads cotton thread and use it all the time. I have a large plastic container filled with the spools and the cones to keep the dust off them--and to keep the cats from using them for toys.
