I really like Superior Threads. Check out the web site they also have some great educational tutorials on the site. Very informative. I really like them because they have the recommended needle type and size on the spool. They are pricey but I can attest that the amount of lint coming off is SO MUCH LESS . I never realized how much lint actually comes from the thread.
Also when sewing with a poly or poly blend the static from their thread is much less in the bobbin. Static will cause irregular stitches.
Their metalic thread is truley the best I have ever used.

They have a wonderful chart for thread recommendations for specific projects.

YLI is a brand of thread. Here is their website:

I haven't purchased from them, but Red Rock Threads seems to be a good discounted source for thread purchases:

The Superior Threads website is a great source of information, but their prices seem high to me.
