i've been using it for more than a year now. i can't testify about the lint thing. when i first bought it i was using other threads, too, so don't know which produced lint.

i had to restock a few months ago. i've noticed i get very little lint in the bobbin case since.

maybe it's coincidence. maybe it's something else.

i love the stuff. :-)

All cotton thread creates lint...does not matter if it comes from connecting threads, mettler, superior, atlanta threads... that's why we don't complain about it...it is the normal way it is. if you don't want the lint try poly threads. they do not create the lint. but it may not be the thread at fault for you (to any great extent.cotton batting creates LOTS of lint too...so the lint could be from the batting, cotton fabrics and thread all together.

I have the same problem. What brand do you use instead?????

I find it very linty and will only use on one of my machines. I think quite a few here use and love it. I got spoiled using Aurifil.

It is all I use.

I use it all the time. I just placed a $75 order, always free shipping if you order is $50 or more, and no tax. I always check with my quilting buddies before ordering so I am sure to get free shipping.

Used it love it especially for the price. I plan to order more in a few months. I want to get one of every color

I use it all the time. Have the whole color range that they offer. As new colors come out, I order them too. I use it a lot for thread painting. Also use Marathon Thread for thread painting. Also piece with it.

I even use it on the quilter....the one thing I have noticed is more fuzz but I clean my machine after every use so no big deal...
