I recently started using Prescencia 60 wt and it did make a big difference. Pricey, but I will look for cones on sale and stock up o neutral colors.

This is also my favorite. I bit the bullet and got the big cone in kind of a taupe color, but it will last a very long time. I use it in the top and bobbin.

I use Guttermanns polyester for all parts of sewing a quilt and never had a problem! Seems we all have out favorites.

Lot of brands have the 80 wt thread now. A new manufacturing process allows it to be thin and strong.
I like the Masterpiece thread when it was 50/2. Now it's 50/3 to be stronger. I was given a set of Quilter's Select thread and it's really nice and it's 60 wt and 80 wt.

I use this thread for all piecing:

4,882 yard cone

Well, I still use Coats and Clark. Never had a problem. Don't understand why people pay more unless they are doing it professionally. I have some Superior thread for quilting but for piecing, C&C is my go to.

Presencia 60wt. I think it has really helped my piecing. It is strong (3 ply) and I get the large cone in white. Lasts a long time. Worth it to me.

Thanks, I just ordered some!

I also ordered some Presencia in 50 wt. Does anyone use it?

I love my Coats and Clarks, plus I have some from Connecting Threads. Pretty happy with both.
