I use it, both the cotton and the poly. I have some of every brand of thread and CT thread is as good as most.

I use it for piecing and love it. Just ordered some more last week and I already received it. My machine does not like it for FMQ for some reason.

I like Essentials thread for piecing and free motion quilting. I think it's better than Coats & Clark cotton on the fat spool. Connecting Threads is a nice company to order from, although I've never ordered their fabric, just thread.

I've been buying and using thier threads for years....both peicing and FMQ. My Brother 1500 does just fine with it and you can't beat the colors and the price...I think it is on sale right now......

Such an affordable thread (especially now while on sale) I use it for piecing and Quilting both and have had no problems using it in my Janome machines.

I've used it and have no complaints - I'm not a big thread snob, though. It is thicker than some, though. since Coats and Clark is what I mostly used to buy, compared to that, I like it a lot because the quality is as good, and the price is much better.
