    Has anyone used this thread?

    Shoppers' Rule is having a sale on this thread:
    "Premium Select - Perfect Solutions Soft Antique 100% polyester sewing & embroidery thread. 120/2 denier, 40 wt. 288 filaments (very strong for high speed sewing and quilting as well as embroidering). Has the Look and feel of cotton thread with soft and rich texture. Colorfast 3000 meter spool."
    I would like to know if anyone has used it and how you like it. It has a good price if its any good. I want to use it for piecing and fmq. Any opinions would help me dicide if I want to buy some.

    Thanks
    Linda

    I've ordered from Shopper's Rule before and have been pleased with their products. I haven't used this thread but at that low price it is worth trying.
    Got fabric?

    I have never purchased thru them but I prefer to use cotton thread anyway. Try Connecting Threads, they are having a sale on thread too. I ordered two bundle packs of thread from them and I love it. The thread has a long staple and not much lint. No problems

    Linda, I saw the ad also. I've never used it, but the description sounds good. Especially the part about being strong for high speed sewing. I prefer polyester over cotton on my long arm quilt machine. I ordered several spools to experiment with. At that price, I couldn't resist.

    I read on a blog where the LAer only uses polyester when quilting. She said she was having trouble with lint build up with cotton thread so she changed to polyester and loves it. Loves everything about it. Just a thought.
