A person's choice is just that - a CHOICE. I'm sure Aurifil is a fine thread, and the right choice, for you. However, why not allow others to be happy with their choices? Why the need to degrade someone else's CHOICE? Regardless of the reason someone chooses one thread over another, it's really no one else's business . . . unless that choice directly affects something another is sewing.

I'm now going to go sew on my latest quilt top . . . and will probably use BOTH Mettler AND C&C thread, just for the heck of it! I've been using black Metrosene Plus but now my bobbin is empty. Oh, the possibilities!!!
