Agree with the recommendation of reading the info given on Superior's website. Personally, I think poly mono technology has come a long way and no longer has the problems it had in the past, but some people have never given it a second chance. Having said that, I've used all kinds of thread and monofilament isn't one of my favorites. I just prefer the look and texture of regular thread, and mono can be kind of tricky to quilt with at times. You have to loosen the tension a lot.
