I also order from CT all the time. I love their fabrics, patterns, book sales, kits, etc. And I did order their thread...for me the thread was just so "linty"...it did great for fmq, but there was just a lot of lint...now my "quilty sisters" in my quilt group for the most part love their thread...I think its just a matter of preference, as most things are...
Have a great weekend,
