Yes, which is one reason why I machine quilt with Poly threads. But mostly I use Poly in my LA because I much prefer the way it performs and looks in the finished product. And the polys I use don't make any lint. Even the best cotton quilting threads produce loads of lint when put through the speeds a LA puts them through. Some are much worse than others. King Tut is about the only cotton I will use in the LA and even then, I don't use much of it. And no telling what the quality is now that Superior Threads is now owned by Premier Needle arts. The same company that owns Handiquilter and Connecting Threads.
