I bought a boatload of their thread today, too. It is linty but my machine doesn't mind, I just have to clean the bobbin case more often. I haven't had it break nor do I find it bumpy. I love the colors! Wish they had the blendables.....

I wish they had blendables too.

I do agree that Connecting Threads is linty thread, and if that is a concern for you it may not be the best choice. I don't mind it though, it's not that terribly bad. I really like it. I have a family of five and stay at home so we are on a limited income and for the price and selection I haven't found anything that can compare. I really don't think it's any better or worse than say, Coats & Clark cotton thread. It's not the highest of quality, but it's also not bad at all in my opinion.

Will checking out the sale. I want to add more colors to my supply. I like their thread and their fabrics.

I love this thread for piecing!

That's interesting, because my Elna 6004 has no problem with it. I do have to clean out the bobbin case every once in a while, but I seem to have to do that no matter what brand of thread that I buy.

I just ordered 20 more colors (and a few other things)!

I use coats and clark and connecting threads thread, my machines like them. I bought 1 spool of 10$ Aurifil thread and my Kenmore chewed it up and spit it out (it didnt like it lol)

I say to each their own. Use what your machine likes with the price of CT thread its cheap enough to try it, unlike that 10$ one that is still sitting there lol

I use CT thread all the time and I have never noticed it being linty. And a question. How do we honestly know if it is the thread that is linty or the fabric? Other then color I suppose. I think most of the lint I get comes off the fabric. I could be wrong, but it seems like that happens when I use the expensive thread too.

Well, anyway, I stocked up and bought a lot of thread this past month. I just love all the pretty new unwrapped spools on the thread rack. Kind of silly, but it makes me feel all stocked up and ready to go.

The reason I know it is the thread is that when I sewed with Coats and Clarks, there was hardly any lint in the bobbin case. Still I like CT Thread better than C&C. It works for me, the quilts are holding up well, and besides that, I'm retired and don't have money for expensive thread.

Been using CT thread for about seven yrs. now and just love it and so does my machine.
