    I love their poly cones! I use it for piecing, and quilting on my long arm. Wish it came in more colors.

    I used Connecting Threads cone thread almost exclusively when I started quilting on my frame. Then I used Aurifil, and then the new Craftsy Thread ...all of which are cone threads. After having tension problems on my last two quilts I switched back to Connecting Threads and the problems disappeared. Of course it is more linty as others have said, but I'll trade having to clean the lint out a couple of times as opposed to tension problems any day.

    I use all Connecting Threads threads.....spools, cones and polyester cones. True their cotton threads are linty but at that price I'll just clean my bobbin area more often. Their polyester threads rarely break on me. I use these only on my quilt machine so can't say how they work for DSM machines. I have most all their colors too. Like that they have so many colors to choose from,.............hate that they discontinue colors only to bring them back under a different name but same code number. I made a chart by color name and code number using Excel to keep track how many spools/cones I have at any given time so when they have their sales on threads I can go to my chart and see if I need to order any especially the ones I use the most.

    I purchased 3 cones of cotton thread from Connecting Threads and must be the only person in the country that hated and threw it away. All 3 cones broke constantly. Just trying to unwrap it to thread my machine would cause it to break. They were all rotten.

    Most of my thread is from Connecting Threads. sewn3w, you should have contacted customer service & I'm sure they would have replaced your bad cones. They have a terrific customer service department & would have wanted to know about the problem cones that you received so they didn't send any more out to other customers.

    I like it but twice my orders came with ends of spools broken off.. They need better packaging.
