I just recently tried Aurifil. It seems pricey, but with it being so fine, you get a lot more mileage and it makes for such a nice finish on your work. I didn't think different thread could make such a difference. Now I know! And now I have a lot of other thread in my stash that I don't want to use, now that I've found Aurifil, though I will have to, to get it used up.
I can ditto all of that!! I loved the Aurifil compared to most others that I had tried so much that I splurged and bought the color card!
I still use some others: Gutterman, mettler (60wt in the bobbin is my fav), Superior King Tut, and a few others.
I don't like C&C - had the same breakage problem combined with way too much lint build up. Hated Connecting Threads Essential line - had 10 spools and sold them I disliked it so much - the lint was incredible!!
