I have Aurifil thread sets that cost almost $100 per set. It is good thread but not all it's hyped up to be. Save your money. I use CT thread the most. I looked at CT thread under a microscope and compared to other name brands, no difference at all. I prefer the new poly cone thread, no lint at all and stronger thread.

I love their thread. Getting ready to place an order after the holidays.

all the time :thumbup: I LOVE CONNECTING THREAD'S THREAD! before them i had alot of issues with threads, but all of the threads from them has been great to work with. i am picking up collections regularly hoping to someday have almost all the threads they have :mrgreen:
i love their silk thread for hand applique too :thumbup:
and the bigger spools/cones are wonderful!

I have used it for years.....the color collections are a good deal!! You will never be without a matching thread color for your quilty projects.

Yes! The quality is excellent. In about a month or so, they usually offer an even better deal on their thread. Last year it was $1.29 a spool. Even with shipping cost, I still order from them.

I just used some on a customers quilt and we were both unhappy with the results. I used king tut on top and Connecting in the bobbin, not saying it is a bad thread it just didnt work in my Tin lizzie. She is finnicky with certain threads.

I use the large cones of CT. It does make more lint in my Janome but I just clean the bobbin more often. For the price, I think it's a good deal.

It makes a lot of lint in mine too,but I like and still use it. I just clean often.

I like the thread and so does my machine. Have not been using it long so I do not know how it hold up under ware and tear.
