I agree. C&C is fine with me, esp. the older cotton wound around a core of polyester. I only had problems with one color - I think it was "Faun", a great "neutral" - and it shredded in hand sewing. (could have been my needle?). The newer poly wound around a core of poly is doing okay so far, but seems hard, like it's too strong for my sewing projects. I do sort of worry that it might "cut" the fabrics eventually with wear and tear; but my quilting is utility.
