But in my thinking, if Im going to put $ into fabric, sweat and tears, then I want it to be all quality and that includes thread. Star is very linty, thick and takes up too much space in the seam which in the end results in inaccurate seams. Just my opinion. Not expecting everyone to do the same.
Superior Threads often has certain colors on sale. Sign up for the newsletter and you can save a good bit of money, shopping the sales. You can also get "sample" spools, inexpensively. It's the same thread but they pick the color for you. It's a great way to try out the different types and I've always received usable colors. :)

I haven't seen Star thread lately. Remember having some that was on wood spools way back when.

My Star threads are on short fat spools with a thick cardboard core.

It might work for decorative quilting, but I think is too heavy for piecing. it would probably throw off your seam allowances
