I started using CT cotton threads about a year ago for both piecing on my Pfaff and quilting with my Mega Quilter. It works great for both and I don't have more lint than with other threads. I love this thread and am in the process of converting all of my thread colors to this thread. I have cones of white and black and they seem to last forever. My hubby made me a great wooden cone holder for use with my Pfaff. I encourage you to try this thread.
