It does have more lint than Aurifil or Masterpiece, but much less than C&C. CT now has poly cones in several colors.

I use CT thread for piecing, but my long arm doesn't like it.
|
I use it with my Bernina and Janome and have no problems. Love the price, and all the beautiful colors.

Hmm, as I expected, answers at both ends of the spectrum. My Janome does tend to get fluff bunnies under the bobbin, so maybe I should stick to the aurifil as that is much less linty than most. Will probably try some CT when I put in an order there. I did like their solid fabric groupings, so it would make a good set. Thank you all for your advice.

I recently ordered the America and the Salt and Pepper set. Loved the price and actually I really l like the thread. It has a long staple (which I like) and have not noticed lint at all. I have a Bernina and have not experienced any problems so far.
|
I like any & everything from CT... thread included!

I love Aurifil and use it almost exclusivly but needed to cut cost so I got the large spool of their thread to try. I have a Janome and a Viking Ruby machine and both do well with it. It's not in the same league with Aurifil but then neither is the price. I don't have any issues with my machines and haven't noticed a lot of lint either. The company stands behind their thread and will replace anything you aren't happy with so try a spool and judge for yourself to see if it works for you. I'll buy it again.

It's a little thicker than I usually use, but if it works I'll probably order more. I've been using YLI Soft Touch (60 wt) for piecing for years and it's a great cotton thread.

I use it almost consistently and have had no problem with it.

I LOVE their thread been using it for several years now.
In fact it is the ONLY thread I use that is not machine embroidery thread. I don't have ALL the colors but I do have many of them (about 30+). |
