I've been using Aurifil for about 5 years and love it. It is a bit more but there is so much tread on a spool. It last forever. I don't have the thread dust I used to have anymore. I've never had a problem with breakage. I use it for both upper and bobbin.

Thanks everyone! I ordered some Aurifil (majority rules :) ). Next pay I will order some of the others.

For my quilts I only use cotton threads. Nothing melts when I press my blocks.

Have you tried a different needle size? Sometimes that's all it takes.

I'm using DMC and Gutterman 100% cotton threads and they both work well for me.

For the Aurifil threads that most recommend here, which are the ones I should use for top stitching and which one for machine quilting? Saw a few variety in the website.

I use Superior Threads So Fine for piecing and Mettler Silk Finish with Bottom Line for quilting.

Wow -- $6/spool is a GREAT price!! Thanks for the link!! :D

I'd recommend 50 wt. for piecing and 30,40 and higher for quilting. You can also use 50 qt. for quilting. But it gives you a different "look" with heavier thread and excuse to buy more:>

That's exactly what I bought!
