Bought a lot from them. Years ago I bought some red mirage that rubbed off on things. But since then have not had any problems with fabric - not always the designs I want, but I've been happy with the quality. Recently ordered solids - about 20 colors - and I am happy with them. I have lots of their thread, it sews well and is inexpensive enough that I am not nervous using it for "practice" or just playing around. Some say it is linty. I don't know if it is anymore than other cotton thread. Like some have said, I brush out my machine with some frequency - bobbin area every bobbin or two and a more extensive cleaning after every project. So I can't really address whether it is lintier or if it is a problem. Customer service is good. Once I was sent a piece of the wrong fabric - and the right one was out to me immediately. (No returns necessary). That was the only "issue" I ever had. Overall, a very happy customer.

I put in a big thread order at CT without first trying it, based on the good recommendations I've heard on this site and elsewhere. I hope it's good thread! I'll try it soon. Now I'm a bit concerned after what quilters have said on these posts.

I love their thread, do a lot of free motion quilting & haven't had any problems, no nubs & no more linty than other cotton thread.

I've seen those posts too. I use CT thread and it is a little linty but since I clean my machine regularly that's no problem. I love the variety of colors and the price. I've used it for piecing and quilting and I've been happy with it.

I purchased $50 + awhile back when they had a 40% off sale. I have only used one of the colors thus far, but am happy with it. I used it with my Singer, it worked well.
