AS for CT threads, they used to be made in the USA, not so any more. The used to be stronger, but my last batch broke a lot, even after putting it in the freezer for two days!
I guess it is like everything else these days..you have to try it for yourself and thus form your own opinions on it!

I don't find CT to be linty. Posted many times that I only use it as top thread in ALL my projects. My bobbin thread is Superior Bottom Line. That combo works great in my Janome6500

I don't have lots of lint when I use their thread. Do you think it could be that I used a metallic needle which has a large eye than standard needles? Eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and the larger eye helps me thread easily. I drop the feed dogs and clean the bobbin area every time I change bobbin thread.

I am very interested in this QB thread about the CT threads !!!!!!
I am awaiting a purchase in which I ordered thread.......
so far, I have no complaints with the previous threads. I use it for piecing but was told one time that I could use it in machine quilting. Have not tried that as yet.
I have written a note to them and will post it when I receive a reply.
