I just ordered some along with some of their clearance fabric.....and some charm packs. I got a smaller set (8 or 10 colors). I use a lot of thread so I need to be a bit more economical than $9 per spool at the LQS!

I have been using this thread for a while now & I love it. I never seem to have a problem with breakage & I use it for piecing & quilting.

I have made 3 quilts in the last couple months, but haven't been able to post any because my camera was stolen. Also made mug rugs, table runners, place mats & pillow cases for gifts.

I really like the variety of colors available in these threads. I haven't anything negative to say about it.

Quiltbug-I thought it was just my machine. I have a Pfaff and I get tons of lint. But, it is a good thread, and my 17-month old granddaughter abuses the quilt I made, and the thread is still holding strong!

I agree with this too. The lint is probably a combination of thread, cotton fabric and batting. Just get in the habit of cleaning more often and it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I have been sewing for many years, and have used many threads and many brands. I clean my machine very frequently. I am very aware that cotton fabric and batting cause lint, but CT threads deposit more lint than other threads even when I am not using batting, so it isn't a problem of me improving my machine-cleaning habits. However, like I said -- it may not do this with other machines; with mine, it does.
