if i've learned nothing else during the years we've been "live", here at the QB, i've learned that different threads will please different people for different reasons.

some machines are pickier than the pickiest person. others will function just fine with anything you run through them.

one person will say "this" thread leaves lint, while another will swear she gets little to no lint from that brand.
same goes for shredding, etc.

if you like the brands you are using already, there's no need to switch unless you know you'd have fun trying out something different. if you do decide to experiment, just buy one or two spools of each new thing so you don't waste piles of money on things you find you don't like.

my own two favorites are connecting threads and aurifil.
like all of the big-name threads, aurifil is horribly over-priced, so i can only buy that when i absolutely must have a specific color i can't get elsewhere.

threads are like handbags. slap "gucci" or "coach" on it, and you can shoot up the price by about 1000%. LOL
