I've used CT Essential Threads for years now and found that I get very little lint in my bobbin area or the area up around my needle. When I use other brands I do get more lint. I rarely use the CT for my bobbin tho, I learned quilting with using Superior Thread's Bottom Line thread for the bobbin and it just doesn't lint up at all. So with the CT on the top and BL in the bobbin, it has been a perfect marriage of threads.
warm quilt hugs, sue
