Coats Thread???

[RedGarnet222]

Hubby picked me up some thread today from a big box store and on the label it read, Coats Thread. What happened to the Clark?? Did they part ways?

I found an interesting site http://www.coatsandclark200years.com/timeline.html. It appears that the parent company is Coats and Coats and Clark is a line of their products.

...and here's a page that gives a description of all of Coats' thread, one of which is
Coats and Clark described as an all purpose polyester thread. http://www.makeitcoats.com/en-us/exp...dir__sewing%7D

Thanks for providing these links. I enjoyed every minute of the reading. like Coats and Clark and my machines, a Janome, a Kenmore from the late '50s, a Singer from the late 30's or early 40's and serger from the 80's all get along with it fine. Whatever works for you is good. froggyintexas

Looks like a rebranding after googling "Coats and Clark". It happens from time to time.

Let us know how it works, I'm curious to see how well it works.

In the UK Coats thread is very popular and according to my sewing machine guru, it's made in Germany, I use it a load for quilting and garment making.

I try to stay away from C&C because none of the technicians that have cleaned my Bernina have told me it is not the best thread to use on my Bernina.

C&C is okay just not as high quality as some of the other brands. I find it shreds and breaks a lot when I use it in my newer machines.
