This is my least-favourite thread ever! I find it not only linty, but bobbly too - you can actually see the lumps on it if you hold it up to the light. The only positive thing I can say about it, is that it's cheap.

CT Essentials is far superior IMHO - I've pieced and quilted very successfully with this (gift - they don't ship to UK), although I much prefer Aurifil for piecing and King Tut for quilting. I like the way King Tut variegated changes colour every inch.
