It is the only thread that I use now. I've never had any issues with it being "linty" or "bloby". The colors are very rich, it is a good deal for the money and a wonderful deal when on sale.

Love all the colors, and at that price I can afford to match my thread to my fabric color.

Same as my feelings (except I do miles & miles of FMQ on a Brother) Fantastic for FMQ, I don't think it is any more linty than the expensive big name threads, I just brush out bobbin area with every new bobbin.

I agree! All my machine like it. I like it much better that Coats & clark cotton thread that I fine is too thick. CT thread is very smooth and almost silky!!!!!

I have a Janome and it works great in my machine. I have used it for about 3 years now and haven't had any issues with it. I have a limited budget for quilting and buying CT thread on sale lets me buy more fabric and batting. The spools last for a good long while and I love all the pretty colors I can buy.
