I have several colors and sizes of their thread and use them with no problem on all my machines to piece and to quilt with (from my Pfaffs to my old Singers).

I started out using Coats & Clark for my quilting, mostly because it was easy to find. But my machine kept getting massive amounts of lint, so I decided to try the Connecting Threads Essential Threads. It works great in my machine and doesn't completely break my bank. I rarely use anything else, now.

I like the poly cotton thread as the poly gives more strenth to the cotton and I don't get knots to often.

i still have lots of coats and Clark threads but recently they started changing their threads. i bought some and got up to the register only to find it was poly, not cotton. so i put it back. then ordered some from Connecting Threads. granted C&C threads make more fuzzies, but I don't hate it.

I use Connecting threads as much as possible. I was gifted with some and I fell in love with it. I DO find it lints up my machine a bit more ,but I clean it often anyway,so its worth it. I both piece and quilt with it and the colors they have are yummy!

I just buy white or black thread from joanns when I have a coupon. i get the larger spools of just plane cotton thread. you can use the blends but some might say they will damage the fabric. it is a personal choice whatever you use.

I've used their thread since I began quilting a few years ago. My LQS said their thread is "terrible" but I've never had any problems with it at all and I love the prices.

I purchase large cones of thread by American and
Efrid. The thread is made in America. I try to buy American as much as I can. It is the same thread that I use on my longarm, it's size 30 and 6000 yards and I think it's between 7.00 to 10.00 a cone, I forget now. I have lots of colors. I love it. I dont' buy any other thread. This tread is not waxed and is strong and all my machines love it...I have a Janome, Bernia, singer feather and a quilt series brother....

I don't believe in small spools of thread. I sew too much and buying those, save me pots of money.
