I too used it for many years. I think it is great for a regular machine. My new 7700 doesn't like it very well.

I was getting low on my all cotton thread, so I picked up a spool of Coats all cotton at JoAnn's. I was sewing some patches last night and it was so frustrating that it would constantly break. I was trying to figure out why all of a sudden I had threads breaking. I was thinking I should get on here to ask why it would all of a sudden start. I've been piecing for YBR for a couple of weeks and hadn't had tread breaking until last night. I think I found my answer here.

I don't care for Coats thread. Too much breakage and lots of lint.

I'm not fussy I guess, because Coats is fine (AND prefered!) by me! Ditto, surger thread is fine too. I've never had any breakage or faulty seams.

Thanks for all these replies. Lots of different opinions! I'll have to give the threads a try and see if my machine and I like them.
