Has anyone used King Tut/Superior Threads?
#1
After hearing the news that my thread guides have been damaged by course thread, I'm looking for better quality thread to use. I got an e-mail about a sale on Superior Threads' King Tut Quilting thread, but before I spend that kind of money I'd like to hear someone else's opinion. Have you used it, and what did you think?

I use it for all my machine quilting and love it. I've never had a broken thread. I use what's left on the bobbin for hand stitching the binding and don't have the problem with it twisting and knotting on me. It's a little pricey for me to use for piecing.

Thanks for your observations, kacie - it helps a lot. I have a spool of Finca Presencia 60 wt I want to try for piecing; still not as inexpensive as some, but I'd rather spend the money on quality staples than on another expensive machine repair.

I love Superiors King Tut thread....I love ALL their thread!
Somewhere in another message thread I mentioned that I also use and love called Connecting Thread Essentials. The price can't be beat, they don't lint, fuzz, break or knot. 1200yd to a spool! Great colors.

I like that the threads can be bought in 'sets' by color, and you can buy one set of 10 for what it costs for 2 spools of quality thread at a quilt store.
Anyone else here used them b4?

I just checked out the Connecting Threads link - Thank you! They say it is 50/3 long staple Egyptian Cotton, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
I did some piecing with the Finca Presencia 60 wt yesterday, and the difference between weights is huge, so I definitely want to go with higher wt thread. The Finca is $4.99/300m on sale, so I'm all for trying some of the Connecting Threads :D
