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!

Interesting info! I always wonder how one product could be so different for each sewer. It's good we have many choices, just if we can figure out what is best for our machines!

Don't forget that fabric plays a huge part in the 'lint' process.

I don't find CT to be linty. Posted many times that I only use it as top thread in ALL my projects. My bobbin thread is Superior Bottom Line. That combo works great in my Janome6500

I don't have lots of lint when I use their thread. Do you think it could be that I used a metallic needle which has a large eye than standard needles? Eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and the larger eye helps me thread easily. I drop the feed dogs and clean the bobbin area every time I change bobbin thread.

I use the Pro for piecing and machine quilting. I like it a lot.

I like the Connecting Thread, Threads. Yes there a little linty but do a great job & we all need to clean our machines a little more ofter anyhow.

I am very interested in this QB thread about the CT threads !!!!!!

I am awaiting a purchase in which I ordered thread.......

so far, I have no complaints with the previous threads. I use it for piecing but was told one time that I could use it in machine quilting. Have not tried that as yet.

I have written a note to them and will post it when I receive a reply.
