for piecing I use a light grey Masterpiece. For quilting Permacore, King Tut or sometimes what ever I have in the right color!

AURIFIL. Masterpiece also good, and it's straight-wound, so it works well on a featherweight without a thread stand.

Coats an clark for piecing, Fufu for quilting.

I use Connecting Threads for piecing most stuff. If I really need the scant 1/4 I will use Superior Masterpiece.

OK, you got me. What's Fufu? According to Google, it's food.

Connecting Threads but I am new so my favorite is also the only one I know.

My SIL bought a kitty litter bucket of thread for $5 a couple of years ago at a yard sale. It's mostly C&C I think. There's not a color not in that bucket. For the most part they are small spools and are fine. I'll use whatever is on hand as long as it's not glaringly off color for what I'm working on. My Viking isn't picky about thread so I've had no issues.

I agree about Aurifil, most miles for the money. piecefully, the old one
