Someone was asking about cotton covered polyester thread. I had understood that Coats and Clarks had quit making it. BUT, today I looked at the new thread set up at Hancocks and there it is!!! They call it Piecing and Quilting thread. Or maybe Quilting and Piecing. It is available in several colors, so check it out. I haven't been to the website yet to see if they have it there.
Happy quilting, Kathy

When I bought my Husqvarna Viking, they told me never to use Coats and Clark, and their first choice was Gutterman. I wonder if the cotton wrapped would still be a no no. Anyone know? They said the C and C gives off way too much lint and clogs up the disks on the tension knob.

Used to use poly-wrapped cotton for everything I sewed but switched to all-poly Superior Threads Oh So Fine (He's all mine, blah blah Supremes or Martha and Vandellas 1965?)
It is not linty. But cotton is all linty to some extent. You need to blow out the area under the needle that gets linty. I've always done this - my old Elna never minded it. Maybe your seller didn't want responsibility of teaching you to maintain machine.
