The Connecting Threads Essentials is cotton and the Essentials Pro is Polyester. Does that make a difference on the finished quilt if you are using the different types of thread for your project? I have only used the Essentials for piecing and quilting for both the top and bottom threads. I love the thread from Connecting Threads; it works very well in my machine.

Connecting Threads cotton is 50 wt 3ply. That is too thick for top and bobbin for piecing. Try a thinner thread in the bobbin. I like Connecting Threads Pro on the cone. It's 70 wt and strong.
