Me, too! I like the way you think! Most of mine are being used a lot, so I don't think they'll last another 50 yrs, much less for 100 yrs.

I use masterpiece by Superior. I recently cleaned my Viking mega quilter and I was surprized that I did not have much lint built up.

I like Coats and Clark. I lucked out and bought a whole bin of thread, some assorted thread in there.

coats and clarks and gutterman

My machine does not like Coats or Guterman much. Threads I like in order of preference: Aurifil is smooth as butter, thin yet strong. Mettler is good also. A good value, and still quite good is Connecting Threads Essential Cotton.

I know there are many more great threads, I just have not tried them.
