I'm sorry, but I find this statement to be too sweeping of a generalization. All cone threads are not the same. Superior Threads produces many high-quality threads, and most of them are available on cones. They are designed with quilters in mind. I'm sure there are other companies out there that make quality cone threads for quilting, I'm just not as familiar with them because I love Superior threads.
