My Bernina dealer told us NOT TO USE C & C thread in our machines. They changed the way they process it and use short strands then wax it to keep it together and to keep the fuzz down. It leaves a wax buildup in your machine and it is very hard to clean. It can affect the way your thread goes through the tension and really messes it up. The older C&C thread is okay but I don't know when they changed it so why take a chance.

Lots of good info in this topic. I use C&C in my Kenmore, but never in my Brother. Recenlty, I've had lots of problems with my bobbin. Maybe I'll switch back to Gutterman sp? and see if that makes a difference?

I cannot begin to tell you how many spools of C & C I have used over the years. Never had a problem, even the ones that are 40+ (15 cents marked on the wooden spool) years old.

My machine refuses to use C&C Dual Duty for regular sewing. The larger spools of C&C cotton thread have a huge amount of lint and you need to clean out around the bobbin frequently. I use a lot of different threads, and my favorites are Mako Aurifil and the Connecting Threads Essential Cotton (more affordable)>

I had a machine that I kept having problems with and I took it to the "doctor". He said to leave Coats and Clarks alone, as far as using it on my machine!

lately, C&C thread does not live up the reputation they use to have. I don't buy it and I'll be glad when I get the stuff I still have all used up.

I don't like C & C thread either!
