I have used this thread in my Bailey home quilter for the nearly 3 years I have had it. I do not understand when people say their machines do not like certain threads. Since day one, sewing machine users have used whatever thread was available and did not ask the machine what brand it preferred. It really is all about tension. But I make a lot of quilts each year for charity and is part of my cost "containment" to use this thread. i have bought it when was on sale for $1. I do not have a problem with it. i also use it for piecing. If it is strong enough to be used in a serger, it is strong enough for all kinds of sewing. That is MY opinion and not necessarily the opinion of the "sponsor" of this group. No Commercial intended !

P.S. I use all flat sheets for backing. i have not bought any fabric for the backs of more than 100 quilts.
