Love their thread, but when I did FMQ with the red it linted terribly. I had to vacuum my machine 3 times while quilting. I did use a light blue thread that didn't seem to lint as much though.

Sorry, but have found their cotton thread to break way too often! I did like it at first...but not so much now.

I am almost out of the small neutrals I have and when I restock I will order the big spools. It works really well with my machine. I like it a lot.

I bought 3 of their selections that were on sale just before Christmas and I really, really love it. At 50% off it was a really good buy.

I use their Essential cotton thread almost exclusively. It's a great buy especially in the groups of 5 or so spools. I like it form FMQ also. I used Gutterman for years until I tried this and I do prefer it over the Gutterman.

Must be the difference in the quilting or sewing machine. For me, I only haVe half the lint with the Connecting Threads thread than I do with the Gutterman thread.

I use it for all of my sewing machines and love it. I haven't had any problems with it and will continue to purchase.
