Does it compare to well known brands? Thanks.
I have read all nine pages and have not found any negative comments about the thread other than it is linty which I agree with. I love the thread too but it does not work on my newer Pfaff (2034). It sews just fine with my other two older machines. I also have trouble with C & C thread in it too. It will sew for a few inches and be fine but then messes up, like it might be the tension. I have adjusted, and adjusted the tension and it still does the same thing but if I put Gutermann or some other higher quality thread in it, it sews just fine, continuously. I have bought their fabric and thought it was very good, kind of a silky feel to it and you sure can't beat the price.
