I received a gift of a set of MS poly thread. I use it with no problems. I would buy it again if I needed more. I have tried the cotton and don't remember it causing problems. After a class with Sharon Schamber, I soak all my cotton spools before use in mineral oil so lint isn't much of a problem. She soaks poly and cotton threads.

For soaking the thread, i pour mineral oil in a plastic deli leftover container, roll the thread in it until all the thread is saturated. Sharon soaks her spools over night. Take it out and drain on paper towels or blot it and use immediately. The thread is lubricated, goes through the machine like butter. The oil will not be oily or leave oil on fabric. My machine repairman says my machine looks pristine on the inside. Here is a link to more talk about it.: Sharon Schamber is a master quilter, who use to be in the high end fashion sewing business. I've never seen such precision quilts as hers in any show.

I was at Paducah quilt show some years ago when Sharon Schamber was entering quilts to the show circuit now and then. One well known quilter who usually wins many shows told me Sharon set the bar for masterpiece quilts. She said Sharon will win any quilt she enters and always deserves it. I feel lucky to have been able to see Sharon Schamber's quilts in person.

Not a big difference in color that I noticed when sewing with it. Sometimes I will drop the oil on the spool and let it sink in. I put a few drops on prewound bobbins. It may not be to other's liking.
