I've had no problem with c&c dual duty - I use them all the time, but I usually get it at Hancock's when it is half price.

I have spools of C&C and DD that I need to get rid of. I think some that say Star and Coats came from Connecting Threads! I use a heavier weight for my applique.

My Bernina likes C&C Star thread (big spools, online only from JoAnn's) for FMQ. I do have some spools of C&C regular thread that I use on the Janome and have not had any problems with it, but most of my thread is Gutterman.

Just to be specific, it's Mettler "Silk Finish" I like for quilting, in case anyone thinks its Mettler Quilting. Silk Finish is a 50/3 and therefore finer than the 40/3 quilting thread. |
I use it, but most of mineis older from Garage sales, so I am not sure of the quality of the newer ones.
|
I find that it tends to shred and break. I don't use it except sometimes for piecing.
|
That is the thread I've used for years too and never had a problem.
|
I would not use coats and clark thread. I never works right in my machine.
