I'm the same as Jeanne S....I have used Gutermann natural cotton for at least 10-15 years. I also use it on my longarm (Innova). I am always able to purchase it for 1/2 price when Joann's has a coupon sale.

I've become a convert to Maxi-lock serger thread (100% polyester). I like to FMQ rather fast with my Juki TL2010Q and this thread handles it quite well. I've got a wide collection of threads that I have tried and while none have *failed* so to speak, some are a lot lintier than others. When I have used any cotton thread, such as Gutermann, Aurifil, Threadart, C&C, I end up with more lint (and with C&C, a lot more lint). I have found I need to take my plate off and clean a lot less with the Maxi-Lock than anything else I have used. It also has the advantage of being very economical, as I have been getting it at Wawak.com for $1.79 for 3000 meters. I've gone through 4 cones of this thread in the past two months and like it more all the time.

Almost any thread will work, however DO NOT USE THE THREAD THAT SAYS QUILTING THREAD ON IT - I believe this is a Coats and Clark as it has a coating and will come off in your machine. I think it is really made for hand quilting and that coating keeps it from getting tangled so much on the needle.
