    I have Aurifil thread sets that cost almost $100 per set. It is good thread but not all it's hyped up to be. Save your money. I use CT thread the most. I looked at CT thread under a microscope and compared to other name brands, no difference at all. I prefer the new poly cone thread, no lint at all and stronger thread.

    Yes! The quality is excellent. In about a month or so, they usually offer an even better deal on their thread. Last year it was $1.29 a spool. Even with shipping cost, I still order from them.

    I just used some on a customers quilt and we were both unhappy with the results. I used king tut on top and Connecting in the bobbin, not saying it is a bad thread it just didnt work in my Tin lizzie. She is finnicky with certain threads.

    I use the large cones of CT. It does make more lint in my Janome but I just clean the bobbin more often. For the price, I think it's a good deal.
