I love it!

I bought about 50 spools when they were on sale, and like it. It is more linty, but that isn't a problem--just clean the machine a little more often. I don't use it for appliqué since it is thicker, but fine for piecing quilts. I think it compares to Guterman thread, just more linty. Can't beat the price when it's on sale. I like their fabrics, too.

My DH just bought me four of the collections of their Essential line which I use a lot!! I like Essential Thread and I also use the Aurifil. I have started buying my Aurifil from pumpkinvinecorner.com as it's a little cheaper than some of the others. They treat me very well there. Craftsy also sometimes has sales on the Aurifil Thread which are good, but I don't get much communication from them & it takes a lot longer to arrive.

I have used their thread but I hate how linty it is. I use Glide thread now and I love it.

Growing up my mother used Coats and Clark thread and I dabbled at sewing because of Home EC class.
Fast forward 4 decades and I decide to try sewing again. Bought a Brother CS6000i and got some Coats and Clark thread. Wow, has that stuff gone downhill - it continuously snapped. I tried a few different brands and found CT thread to be affordable and it worked very well so I started getting the spool sets when they were on sale (and I have a lot). 5 years later I purchased a Juki machine and now I'm having problems with CT thread. It's MUCH lintier on the Juki than on the brother. And the CT thread is great when sewing clothing but breaks a lot when doing even regular quilting - forget about using it for FMQ! I'll get 2-3 stitches and it snaps. And I've played around with the tension multiple times to see if it would help. I got some Aurifil and found it great for quilting (and corset making) on my Juki, probably the best thread I've ever used period - no FMQ thread snapping (note, I'm not an expert by any means) but it's too much for my budget right now. I'm going to try Superior Threads next for my quilting needs and leave the CT thread for my historical, non-quilted outfits. |

I use it a lot for free motion quilting and I love their variegated ones. They are a bit linty but I just clean more often
|
Then maybe it's just my machine. It doesn't like Coats and Clark thread or Organ needles. I'm going to name it 'Finicky Juki'

I do Not like the thread ! It makes a lint mess.

I love their cotton thread, stock up whenever a sale, have many colors. But like Aurofil better for FMQ, I seem to get a better rhythm.
