I have used this thread, and still have some that I will use up some day. It works fine on a regular sewing machine. It is extremely linty though. I bought mine at JoAnn's at half off, so it was cheaper than the web site. I have since changed to Connecting Threads cotton threads. They are cheaper, less linty, and I think the thread is more even and less likely to have a knot or weak spot. Connecting Threads sells the 1200 yard spools for $2.49. They also has 5000 yard spools (great for longarms) for 9.99. They often have sales, and shipping is free over a certain amount. So no, I wouldn't buy it.
