Lol semantics, I guess. Anyway - my point is: this event happened several years ago, Superior is
still making thread, and I don't really see the benefits of worrying about something that hasn't happened.
Maybe a better question to ask is, what threads, other than Superior, do the rest of us use?
For longarming, I use Innovatech and Glide, in addition to Superior's King Tut, Bottom Line, and Microquilter. I don't much care for Aurifil, it seems to tangle easily and the tension is fiddly. It's also hard to locate in my area. I do know other quilters who swear by it.
For piecing, I almost exclusively use Bottom Line. If Superior ever quit making it, then I would look for a 40 wt poly thread elsewhere.
