I do mostly quilting but do have some craft and clothing patterns I want to use. I didn't see a brand inside the cone but it appear linty. I've had some thread brands that look really hairy coming off the spool and this looks nothing like it. I "think" it said 100% cotton but can't be sure. All my machines are vintage except one and that one I rarely use. I think I'm going to get a cone or 2 to try it out and go from there.
I don't think the thread was a cheap purchase when originally purchased but since its being offered in a flea market booth its considerably less.
