Over the years, the reviews I've read here and on other boards about CT thread are either love it or hate it, not linty or too linty, no middle ground. It seems to be machine specific as to how it behaves.
I've never tried it and probably never will even though I have an unused CT gift certificate from Christmas 2013. I just don't want to buy thread that might lint up my machine when I'm happy enough with what I use now, nor do I really want to choose thread colors online until after I've had a chance to see them in person. Thread selection shouldn't be this hard and buying locally, it isn't.
