King Tut & Robison Anton Cotton Machine Quilting thread flowed through my quilting machine like butter.
Glad to hear there is another Coats & Clark Dual Duty user! I use this thread for piecing also. C & C was the choice for my mother and great-aunt and it was what I learned with! I don't long arm but I do do mostly SID or echo quilting and I use whatever brand I find in the color I am looking for!
