I use good ole Coats and Clark. After checking several spools just now, I see that some of it is polyester covered polyester, some of it is mercerized cotton covered with polyester, some of it is 100 percent cotton but it is all labeled Dual Duty. My sewing machines are not finicky about thread except that none like nylon filament (invisible thread). If they were finicky, they would find themselves at that great place where finicky machines go--the 2d hand shop--because I don't have time to fool with finicky dogs, cats, kids, adults or machines.
If I had a deal on polyester thread and it were the color I wanted to use, I would use it and rejoice! I am willing to bet that whatever you use, your quilt will outlast most of us on this board and no one except you will ever know what kind of thread you used. froggyintexas

I think I am returning them, about 20 spools. Unless I hear from someone else why I should keep it. I am so confused on the quality of threads and what to use. Maybe others are too.
