They appear NOT to be clearancing it out. For awhile the website had "last chance" on every spool of the poly and a quilter even called their customer service dept to ask if they were closing it out. Customer service said yes. But now the website is like it was. I think the customer service rep didn't actually know and simply relied on what the web page said!
My favorite quilting thread for my domestic machine is Aurifil 50wt 2-ply (which is also my favorite for piecing). For my midarm frame, my favorite so far is Glide which is a 40wt trilobal polyester thread. I tried Connecting Threads poly in my midarm but it seems to be a little too thin for my machine (it is 70wt), as even with adjustments I had occasional shredding and occasional breakage with it.
