Over the years, the reviews I've read here and on other boards about CT thread are either love it or hate it, not linty or too linty, no middle ground. It seems to be machine specific as to how it behaves.
I've never tried it and probably never will even though I have an unused CT gift certificate from Christmas 2013. I just don't want to buy thread that might lint up my machine when I'm happy enough with what I use now, nor do I really want to choose thread colors online until after I've had a chance to see them in person. Thread selection shouldn't be this hard and buying locally, it isn't. |

That's pretty close to the actual way it's figured. For needles, wire, thread, anything with a 'higher number is thinner' measurement, it's based on the number of them it takes to fill a tube of a certain diameter. Not confusing at all when you look at it that way. :)

How can that be the same? Size 16 needle is much larger that a size 11.

I have a hard time with tread too but it really helps to read post to see what I should be buying in the future. It is confusing when it comes to different weights.

I have begun to use CT thread for piecing top thread as well as for bobbin. However, I find that it does not work well for me to hand sew the binding on. Tangles and twists...oh, some words come out.
