I've heard it is better than Coats and Clark, but a little linty. I would try a spool and see if YOU like it. :thumbup:

I, also, noticed nubs on the thread, but I figured it was okay since so many folks love the essential thread. I noticed more lint around my bobbin, could it have been from the fabric I was sewing? The bottom line is, I'm confused :cry:

I love their thread, especially the price. I use it for all my longarm quilting. I like the variety of colors.

Does anyone use it? How is it? Their prices seem extremely reasonable, and I might throw a thread collection on my graduation wishlist if you guys think it's good enough. :)
the thread is very good and there will be less build up of fuzz in your machine and the price is right!

It does the job ok but there are too many other threads out there that I have discovered at comparable prices that I like much better.
I'm like you. It does make a lot of lint in bobbin case.

Been using CT thread for awhile now, and love it, never had a problem. I've pieced and quilted with it. You can not beat the price, and I never ever pay shipping. I can always find enough to buy to get free shipping.

I don't know about their thread yet, but I love their customer service and follow-up. They have a great selelction of fabric and if they don't have it will do all they can to bring it in. They stand by their products.
