I like their thread, have had no issues with it. All thread has some lint or fuzz, no more than any others. I will add that I have a serger and was using Maxilock. I ran out of off-white when I was sewing on my regular machine and used the Maxilock. I found it as good if not the same as Connecting threads. I have been using it to piece and it truly amazed me how it has held up. Looked at it through a microscope, didn't see any difference, either.

It does the job ok but there are too many other threads out there that I have discovered at comparable prices that I like much better.

What brands of thread are out there at comparable prices? I sure haven't seen them.

Their thread is wonderful. I have a hard time using other brands after using the Connecting Threads brand. My machine loves it too. Not sure if this code still works, but free shipping through June 1 with the code: QUFRESH

I'm a big fan! :) It's a little bit lintier than Aurifil in my machines, but I dust out the bobbin area after every bobbin or two, anyway, so that doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

It comes in so many gorgeous colors and it's beautifully matte and smooth in a quilt. I've never had any problems with thread breakage and it mixes with whatever bobbin thread I'm using without any trouble.

The QUFRESH free shipping code works, you enablers! ;) So for $2.49, you can inexpensively sample a spool of their thread. And you won't even have to start the car or get out of your pjs!

I have read all the great reviews on the QB for some time now. I am currently waiting anxiously on my porch for my first order from them to arrive.

I don't care for it. I can feel nubs on the thread with my fingers. It's not smooth and the lint created is double that of Gutterman or Aurifil. I bought one spool to try and I won't be buying it again.

I don't like the lint. I will not be buying any more when my current spool is gone. I only use it on the top and my bobbin area is packed with aqua lint.
