I never thought about the cotton dust. I recently bought some cotton Coats & Clark machine quilting thread and it is so dusty! I'm cleaning my machine out more because of the dust and I clean the needle & foot off during a project a few times. I wonder if this could be it...hmmmm.
I bought some C&C cotton quilting thread only because I was at Wal-Mart which is the opposite direction by 20 miles of Joanns. I am using it for charity quilts, but won't get any more. It is pure C---! So much lint I can't keep anything clean. I am going to have to place an order from CT. Oh what a shame, may have to buy some fabric too to reach the $50 free shipping. :roll: I do a lot of sneezing while I am sewing.
