I have quilts that I used C&C threads on 30 years ago. They are fine. The reason I use better quality thread now is that it has less fuzz and is better for the sewing machines. It also gives fewer problems with quilting. For my bobbin I always use Sew Fine. It is a wonderful thread that seems to just sink into the back of the quilt. I've never ever had one problem with it. (Of course, now it will probably break every other line since I bragged on it. LOL )
