I've had trouble strip piecing with Bottom Line. Even though I use a really short stitch, the seams unravel when I cut through them.

I ended up doing two of the massdrop buys. What the heck is wrong with me. Bright side is that I should be set for a while (I bought a ton of off white, white and gray from sue's sew ez designs when she was open).

I piece my quilts with Aurifil & Gutterman, the Aurifil is my favorite thread.

Coats and Clark shreds with my machine, I have lots of it left over from my Mom's sewing, it's not old, but it shreds terribly.

I have stopped using C&C thread. My Jenome does not like it at all. Does the same thing as your describing.....
