I am a batik snob and only buy the ones from the LQS. I decided to give theirs a chance and the only thing I do not like is they fray a little more and are not as thick waxy feeling as the LQS ones. I am going to use them in my GFG I am working on and would not hesitate to order for a project but if you are expecting them to be like the LQS they are not.
Now their thread is great, my machine hums with it and it not anymore linty than the coats and clark or star brand from LQS. It feeds nicely through the needle for FMQ practice. I will be buying more when it goes on sale.
