I use and it's good thread. You will also have less lint build up in your bobbin area. Roz

Been using it for several years. I love it and don't have any problems with excessive lint.

Yes, and I absolutely love their thread. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. I like their polyester thread too, but not for machine embroidery. It breaks too easily. For applique it's fine, however.

Yes and I really like it. Have maybe twenty colors and they are a great value. I even use the cotton threads on my serger as I don't like poly.

Perhaps the eye of the needle is very fine cause I don't have that problem on either my Bernina or Husqvarna.I usually use Schmetz quilting needles.

I love it! It is all I use anymore. The colors seem to be more vibrant, but that could just be me.

I love their thread. I buy it in the packages of mixed colors and so far no problems.

Does anyone use the Connecting Threads Essential Cotton Thread?
$2.49 for 1200 yds is a great deal if the thread is a good quality.

Oh, yea! I just purchased 5 sets of their thread (ones that are being discontinued). I have used their cone thread (same as on the spool) for a couple of years and love it. It has next to NO LINT!!!!! Your machine will thank you! The cones are $9.99 for 5,000 yards!!!!!
