I chose to write CHOICE, in all caps, because sometimes people fail to see the word, "CHOICE."
That said, I have no problem ordering online, so am going to check out the site, you mentioned. I probably have at least a hundred spools of C&C, from years of sewing, and intend to keep using them. However, I do enjoy less lint-duty . . . and would also like to try one of the finer threads, to make my bobbin last longer.

A long time ago when I watched Simply Quilts and quilting shows such as that, someone suggested sewing the two cut ends of the fabric together (as the piece would be circular). Then when the piece was dried, rip or cut off the seam.

I don't think anyone wants their choices denigrated - most people are doing the best they can with what they have.
It's interesting to know about other products and techniques that are available - and then be able to decide whether one wants to try them or not.

I use old thread or bobbin thread to zig-zag the raw edges before washing my fabric. This way I can use up the thread with out wasting any. I have to wash my fabric as I have severe allergies to the chemicals in fabric.

I also do this when I don't serge - I do try to use a same color or lighter thread than the fabric,though. (I'm thinking this is probably not necessary - but I do it, anyway)
