If you really want to talk thread go to
www.superiorthreads.com and find a class on threadology near you. Bob is very well spoken and full of information. I have attended his talks at Sew Expo in Puyallup, Wa, of course he is trying to sell you on his thread (which of course I have used and love) but I also use all of the other brands you have listed and others as well. You want a clean thread that is durable do not cut corners and use serger thread for quilting trust me ask me how I know? Well of course I tried it and well after years of usage and lots of washing there is a lot of breakage and should be taken out and requilted but that is way to much work for me so I use it on my bed and love the education it gave me. by the way I am not affiliated in any way with Superior Threads or there representatives.
