Looks like my cat has rubbed against it!

I use Con.Thr. all the time and it has never done this. If it continues to happen contact the website, show them the picture and see if they will replace. Good Luck.

That looks like the strands of thread have broken and one of the strands is building up on the wrong side of the eye of your needle! Yuck!!!

My LQS owner did a comparative study of about a dozen brands, for lint, stretch, strength, and several other traits I dont's recall. She was amazed by the differences.

I use Superior threads almost exclusively, but had just one cone that did that. I saw the lint on the cone itself. I should have sent it back but did not want to bother. I used the remainder in the bobbin, and cleaned the bobbin area more often than usual. I bought a couple of Star brand spools that did this constantly. I sew very quickly and am very intolerant of linty thread.

That's the exact same thing that happened to me with Connecting Threads' thread. Didn't matter if it was a bigger needle, smaller needle, brand new needle, etc.

eta: when I had this problem I immediately stopped using the CT thread and put some old junky C&C thread in to finish my project, and it did fine. So I don't think it was anything other than the thread itself.

C&C! That's the other brand I had trouble with. I am perfectly willing to admit that the speed of my sewing may have contributed.
