I'm glad you like it. I started using it a few years ago because I couldn't get my blocks to be the right size. My teacher checked my cutting and seams and they were right. She then suggested this thread because of it being only two ply it makes a difference when you have several seams in a block. I was amazed at how my blocks were turning out after I started them. I used it to do cross-hatchin on fabric that I quilted for a jacket and I had no problems with it. I have the viking mega quilter and the viking rep said they recommend this thread for it. I never have to touch my settings and I love the fact that there is low lint too. Save the cheap thread incase you want to practice FMQ or something that doesn't require having the good stuff in it. Like maybe even just basting or something like that.
