I use it in both of my home machines and my longarm. Yes it lints up, I always clean the bobbin cases and bobbin. For the price you can't go wrong for everyday sewing, but I also use bottom line & so fine in my bobbins at times. I use the type of thread that goes best with what I am working on at the time.

Absolutely it is wonderful thread. Just took a Judy Niemeyer paper piecing class for a 60" table topper (my Avatar) & used Essentials thread, it is so nice & no lint. Prices are great!

I love their thread. It is all I have used for several years. For my part it is just as good as Gutterman for a much better price.

I LOVE CT thread. In fact I hope that Santa has a couple of the color sets under the tree for me tonight (along with the batik charm pack of all the colors).

Yes, I do and I love it. I too, was thinking of buying the larger cones, when I'd use a whole spool to fmq a project. I got several colors I 'd use most of and sure think there are a better investment. I've also gotten several of their brightly colored thread collections, when they're on sale.
