I have ordered from CT several times and I am pleased with everything I have gotten. I use their thread most of the time without problems. I have a medium Gray large cone that I use for piecing. Works fine on the Husky +1 but I can't use it with my little White quilters portable I take to classes and retreats. The stitch didn't look good on the back side. Batiks from CT are very nice, just a little lighter weight. I just used some in a paper pieced pineapple quilt that I entered in our guild quilt show Oct. 8 - 9.
