I bought some because when I got my new sewing machine they recommended not to use coats & clark. It is a little linty, but not as linty as coats & clark and the price is real food, especially for the amount of thread that you get on a spool. I ordered some more when they a 30% off sale, so the price is real good and trhe shipping isn't too expensive. I now have a supply of thread that should last me for quite a while.
