Not for nothing, but for many years, 50 wt. presencia was my thread of choice for piecing. It is without a doubt a very nice thread. However for average piecing, I now prefer aurifil. It is less linty and a bobbin fill holds more than using presencia. I have never done a strength test between the two, but have never had a problem with breakage when using the aurifil. I do know my seams are very accurate and flat when using the aurifil verses presencia.

So glad I saw this thread on the QB .... no pun intended. If I am going to sew (and I am), I definitely want to be using good quality thread. Thread breakage just drives me nuts!!! Thanks to all who have replied with such great advice.

I'll give it a try too! Anyone used it in their Featherweight? Thanks!

Thanks for this input. I never could have imagined that about making grooves. I know the previous owner had it and used it frequently with the hand quilting thread and she used it because the old lady she bought machine from said that was all she used. It appears this machine was in use more years than not. I suppose I should not mess with perfect stitches and leave well enough alone?

I use either coats and clark or connecting thread's threads. They both work great for me. After I use them up I may try a different thread.

I love Aurifil and Superior thread. Have not tried Prescencia ...yet

I just bought the large spool of white Prescensia. Will see what happens. Played with it on the demonstration long arm at the LQS.

Thanks for sharing. I will have to try it..

I've tried it and love it. I just used up one full cone and am on to the next. I have smaller Aurifil spools when I want a specific color. I use Bernina machines and a featherweight.

Thanks for the information, I think one of our local shops carry it, I'll have to try it. Of course, I have LOTS of Auriful!
