I also use it for piecing and really like it. Haven't used it for quilting, though.

The Pro thread looks a lot like Superiors So Fine. Just might give it a try. Didnt like the regular thread, but this may be a better choice.
|
I use it all the time, works well in my Viking, have not noticed a lot of lint. Love all the colors and of course the great price.
|
I love CT, but their thread is too linty for me to use without cleaning out the bobbin area and it even gets all over my needle! I would like to try the pro line and would be delighted if it worked well.

Hated it. Traded it here on the QB for some fabric.
Too linty. SERIOUSLY linty. It was so bad I had to clean the needle shaft so I could see what I was doing after an hour or so of quilting. It's also quite a bit thicker compared to other quality 50wt threads. While this may not seem like a big deal, remember it takes up that much more room in your seam and if you like working in small pieces like me, that little bit of space adds up to a whole lot!! |
as you can see, EVERY person has a different reply...how can the same thread be linty on one machine and not at all on another...because it is NOT just the thread, but the machine, the speed at which you sew and even the needle that play into the LINT program.
AS for CT threads, they used to be made in the USA, not so any more. The used to be stronger, but my last batch broke a lot, even after putting it in the freezer for two days! I guess it is like everything else these days..you have to try it for yourself and thus form your own opinions on it! |

I also use CT thread and love it. It is a bit linty, but most of the threads out there today are. My machine isn't picky, I'm just sure to clean it every two hours of use.
