i use Connecting Threads most of the time. it performs well for both piecing and quilting.

i needed a specific purple i could only get from the Aurifil collection. it's quite expensive, but it performs very well so i think it's a good value for those who can afford it. i certainly don't regret buying it for the special project it's going into.

i use the smallest needle i can get away with. i can usually use a 70/10 for piecing. i think 75/11 is the size most commonly used for piecing but you might find that to not be the case as others add their comments here.
