I use the poly cones for machine quilting and to wind bobbins. I mix it with Aurifil and many of the other brands of cotton thread. I give the spool sets as gifts. There is a great buy on a boxed gift set on the website now in the gift section of the website. I had to order the red mug too!

I prefer thinner thread for piecing and for SITD quilting, but for quilting or topstitching that I want to show up I love CT thread. Yes, it's lintier than premium thread like Aurifil or Presencia; but it's good sturdy thread and the price is sooo low and color selections are great. I waited for a sale and (literally) bought at least one spool of every single color!
Buy a spool, try it out! I'm betting you'll like it. And while you're shopping there, get yourself a pair of their little purple-handled snips. I LOVE those little scissors and buy a pair pretty much with every order because I keep finding new places I want to keep a pair.
I've actually seen a quilt shop selling spools of Connecting Threads cotton thread, it was marked up to $8/spool. No idea if it was selling or not, but I had to laugh at that. I'm not sure it's worth $8/spool, but it's DEFINITELY worth the $2-3 on the site.

I like it a lot and have not noticed it being any more linty than anything else, but not really paying that much attention. I just clean out my machine after each quilt anyway. I love all their colors and especially the price.
