I have purchased a couple of cones in a neutral color for piecing...I have to adjust my quarter-inch and it is a bit linty but all in all, great thread.

I have used a complete spool of Aurifil thread in top and bobbin and the lint build up was scarce. A few hours of Essential and I have to clean the lint away. I have a few spools of the Essential but I know if I use it I'll have to clean the machine a lot.

I have a lot of their thread, both the cotton and the poly. I use the poly Essential Pro cones on my long arm and use the cotton to piece. The cotton does have lint but for the price I'll clean out my bobbin area.

I have tried 3 cones of cotton thread— found it to be too “linty” for me (great price though). Guess you get what you pay for. I will go back to Guterman, Superior or Aurifil.

My Nolting longarm loves the Essentials Pro from CT. The only complaint I have with it is that the colors are limited and they are often out of basic colors. I don't know how long I waited for white to come into stock, but it was l-o-n-g wait.
