Onebyone, I thought Aurifil was top grade quilting thread and of course I have about 15 spools of the stuff in various colors. Won't buy it again for sure. My thread from Connecting Threads may be on the cheap side but it works like a charm for me and I have lots of it in most all colors. Just wished they'd quit discontinuing a color only to bring it back under a different color name but same color number as I made a chart to keep track of all my spools and I've had to cross reference them from time to time.
At least I was able to get the quilt finished finally.
