I use their Pro line on my long arm and he doesn't mind the bit of lint. It just keeps me cleaning Big Wally as I should.

I Have used this and find it to be a nice thread to use. However I tried some Aurifil thread and have since been using that.
Like it has been said try one spool and make sure that you and your machine like it before you invest

I use it everyday on both my longarm and my Janome. I have trouble with the lt. pink and black on my longarm, but for me it has been a life saver on thread prices.

I tried it and thought it was ok. Then I noticed that I kept having thread breakage and an awful lot of lint in the bobbin case. I must have 30+ spools of this stuff now. One day I needed white thread and the only one I had for quilting was a spool of the Mettler silk finish cotton. No thread breakage--not much lint. Now I want to go back to Mettler. It is much more expensive but I don't have the grief with it. I change needles 2-3 times while quilting and oil my machine at least once before and during a quilting project. I have tried Aurifil and my machine does not like it. Now I find out that
the connecting threads is not to my liking.
I am now on the search for a good price on Mettler silk finish cotton 500 yard spools in 50 wt. I guess I will try to sell
a bunch of these threads from connecting threads.
My advice is if you are going to place an order with connecting threads, try one or two but don't do what I did and buy a bunch of them until you try it. Everyone is different and every sewing machine is different.

I use CT and I like it haven't had any problems.

TOO linty for me!!

I use the Essential Pro for the long arm and love it!! Can't beat the price :)

love it use it for all my piecing

I have a LOT of CT threads! Yes, they DO produce a lot of lint below the throat plate but it forces me to clean there regularly. Since they are so inexpensive I don't feel like I'm throwing $$$ away when un-sewing needs to be done. Comments here said these threads have no luster and I agree with that. So, for actual quilting I'll use a better quality thread, especially for FMQ, unless it's just straight stitching for a utility/charity quilt.

Love,love LOVE it!

I really like CT's thread. If you have a problem with it in your machine, make sure you have the top thread loaded with exactly the same thread in your bobbin. Mant machines are finickly like that. I was having problems with my machines and even though the weight was the same in top and bottom, when I filled my bobbin with the top thread that I was going to use, all my problems dissapeared.

I have. I tried and like it. I purchased neutral on a small cone for my Janome Horizon. It was a machine quilting thread and it is firm and low low fuzz. How good is that? I want more of their thread and intend to purchase exclusinvely from them.

One of the other posters stated it was low on lint. That is the best feature because it would save on machine maintenance and missed stitches. I like this feature most of all.

Purchased it and love it.

I do love connecting threads thread and so does my Pfaff, Bernia and my Featherweight. We clean out dust at each bobbin refill and we love the price, the thread and the results.

I use Connecting Threads Essential Cotton thread in all my machines (Singer and Bernina). All the machines like it and I love it.

i love it...and sew almost exclusively with it..and i absolutely love the colors too.

Love it so far!

It is about the only thread I use to do my sewing.

Great product. Love it.

Love their threads! I have lots of color because I like colored thread, not every one does. I have a friend with a Pfaff sewing machine and she wasn't sure her machine would like the thread, so I loaned her a spool and it worked fine. If you question whether your machine would like it, see if someone will loan you a spool to try.

ok, I had already replied but since right before this thread I had just placed my first order for thread with Connecting Threads and was concerned to a degree. When I got their email telling me that my order was on it's way I voiced my concerns about the lint and bleeding that I had heard on here. I'm enclosing the response that I got from them. I'm satisfied and excited waiting for my thread to arrive.
Dear Judy,
We will stand behind our products, I had not heard about the red bleeding. There is lint with cotton thread, it depends on the amount of sewing, your machine and how much you clean it. The Long Arm Machine quilters have had us develop a Polyester cone thread which they like better, because there is not the lint like with cotton.
Sincerely,
Daryl

I love the thread..never had a problem with it and my machines all like it too!!

I love connecting threads . I only buy them in the summer. Summer sales watch for them. great savings. got my list of colors i needXXXXX WANT>

I love Connecting Threads thread, and it's all I use for piecing. I buy the big cones of it for piecing, and you can't beat the price. It may be a bit linty, but I religiously clean my machines between quilts, so I've never had any problems with lint buildup. My longarm machine loves it!

I use it a lot. Large spools, inexpensive, great colors. I frankly don't notice that it is any "linty-er" than any other cotton thread. I have almost all their colors and I love being able to find a matching color for whatever I am doing without running off to the store.

I use their thread a lot! Love all the colors!

I haven't tried it. After trying Aurifil I've been so happy with it that I don't want to use anything else. Smooth as silk and not linty.

Thank you everyone for the input. So many satisfied customers can't be wrong.

I have bought their collections in the past, but I did have one bad spool that was problematic. The rest have been good SO FAR...lol

I have used it, and my machine likes it too. I suggest that you buy a spool and try it. They cost about $2.50 per spool.

I've had good luck with it. I like it.

I use thread from Superior Thread exclusively (www.superiorthreads.com). I just love their King Tut line! No breakage, and no lint. They also have Master Piece, Fine Line and others to choose from. Whatever you get from there is superior thread, so so don't worry about the name --- and no lint to worry about. They run specials, and the color range is awesome. Just a thought if you wanted an alternative. I've been using Masterpiece for piecing and King Tut for quilting. I love, love, love their varigated thread colors!

long armer here, love connecting threads, threads!, every color under the sun, only thing im not so crazy about is the lint it generates, and only way to get rid of it is to use polyester thread.
