Connecting Threads solids are a good price too but I haven't used them. Curious if anyone else has.
I generally only use white or black as solid and like Kona Black / white or white muslin depending on the project.

I like RJR's cotton supreme because it has a nice soft hand to it, very smooth feel.
Kona cotton is thicker, but if I was going for something that is nice to the touch... it would be the RJR.

Thank you all for the responses. I would think that there would be more out there than just a few. My only choice has been Kona, I have never seen the others. So many people use the Kona, would like to try something with a higher stitch count.
