I use Glide poly in my midarm because (1) it is much less linty than any of the cotton threads I have used, including King Tut; (2) it is a softer thread and I like to do close quilting, so the quilt comes out softer; (3) it has a little bit of shine to it, which adds just a touch of sparkle to the quilt; (4) it never shreds or breaks on me.
