Thread
I have never heard of the thread that you purchased. We recommend Aurifil at the shop (Beautiful Quilt Fabric.com). It's a Egyptian Cotton Thread with really long and un-furry fibers. A lot of new (read expensive) machines have a problem with lint and the Aurifil almost always fixes the problem. It's expensive, but worth it. When doing quilting, we use either the Aurifil, my preference, or Isacord, my sister's preference. Isacord is a polyester thread, usually used for Embroidary, but works great when using it for free motion quilting and it is cheaper than the Aurifil.
