I'm primarily concerned with long arm quilting. I've not tried Superior's Poly, but I did try some cheaper poly and it skipped stitches a lot. That's why I'm a bit afraid of it. However, I may go ahead and order a cone and see how it goes. You are right about the value. I'm sure it can be used in a domestic machine (don't know if it would be good for hand quilting), so if I order a neutral color I can always use it. BellaBoo, if you're going to use it on a long arm, let me know what you think about it. I'm always interested in a cheaper way to do things!
