I may be in the minority, however, I use the Coats and Clarks thread the majority of the time, although I also use Mettler threads but I only buy it when it's on sale. When I was doing a lot of crafting & sewing I had just about every color of the rainbow and then some, and since we're now on a very limited budget I will use what I have until it runs out, which may be a while. Having the assorted colors comes in handy when making clothes for my DGD though.
