My machine loves their Essential Pro also. I have most all of their cotton spools and those I use a lot of I've picked up their cones though very linty. Their polyester cones are so much better with less breakage. I've been waiting for a couple of their colors to come back and just recently received an email that the colors are back in stock. Too late for their sale so I'll just wait till they have another sale. I rarely use white but a pale beige, creamy yellow or even a pale green as it shows up just barely even on white fabrics.
