I've used Mettler. It was one of the first embroidery threads along with Sulky that I used, but when it comes to quilting I have mostly used Aurifil--I've tried Guderman but it broke so much that I use it only for bobbins now and when I practice FMQ.

I've never used Mettler. Just one piece of advice, though, When using any thread that throws off a lot of lint, just be sure to clean your machine, particularly around the bobbins, bobbin case, etc. A buildup of lint can bring your machine to a screeching halt, or cause other problems, breaking thread, etc. That buildup of lint is harmful to your machine!

Many people praise Aurafil. I won't use it as it breaks too easily and is linty.

Mettler is top quality, but I don't usually buy it because of the price.

Mettler threads are very good. I've used the cotton threads for my quilts and poly thread for when I make garments.

I see that it is available in #s 40, 50, and 60. What do you use. Do you do machine quilting as well as piecing?
