Emma----I use Connecting Threads most of the time. I buy the cones for my longarm, it is a thin, strong poly. Then started using it for piecing and it is my favorite. The spools of cotton are good, too, but like the thinness of the poly. I have not used it for FMQ though. I am hoping eventually they will have more color selections and make some varigated. Longarm thread is extremely expensive and CT is very afforable. Just wanted to share my experience in case you decided to order.
