Some years ago I ordered 4 cones of non rotting black thread, to make 2 fishing shanties. They send me 4 cones of linen colored machine quilting thread. I got to keep the linen thread and they sent me the thread ordered. I made the shanties, we used the them twice. I used the quilting thread all the time, for hand quilting. I love it and wouldn't use anything else.
I have never had a problem with Clotilde.
