I dont' want my Duetta, CV 5 or my Pfaff GQ to find out that all I use in C&C...they sew just fine with it!

I have not used the "new" polyester covered polyester thread, so have no opinion about it.

I used it for many years but then started having trouble with it. I bought a new Janome in February and the dealer told me not to use C&C. Said it is not smooth enough and has actually been known to ruin the tension thingy (my scientific term) on the machine.

Will use for piecing-- to FMQ it tends to shred not only on top but also on the bobbins, now use connecting threads. I do miss the shine of the C&C on top. Botton line it works for some-- a not others. Mine was 50% off so will get it used up.

When I started using better thread (Aurifil and Masterpiece), a lot of my piecing and sewing problems disappeared. I used to think C&C was just fine, until I used something better. Less lint, no breaks, no tangles, flat seam, rare tension issues. It's worth it to me. Just TRY a spool of higher quality thread in neutral for piecing and something fabulous for quilting and see if you might not also enjoy it.
