yes, I have used them. I have had no issues with them. I have 2 Babylock machines, Esante and Melody. Both have no problems with the thread. I really like the set of variegated. I have used those in quilting my projects. I have also pieced with the solid colors. The only time it gave trouble was when I made the Bali Pop Bag (batik wrapped around rope).

I have a lot of it. I don't have any problems using it on any of my machines. I like the Essential Pro the best, it's thinner and great for bobbins. Using the cotton is too thick for both top and bobbin for me.

Since first trying it a few months ago, that's all I buy now. Good product and price. Free shipping over fifty bucks.

It's not a very fine (as in thin) thread, so I don't use it for piecing. I love it for quilting and any sort of decorative topstitching though. It does shed a bit of lint compared to some of the more expensive threads but it's good thread - I don't ever have problems with breakage or anything like that. The price is so cheap, I have actually ordered a spool of every single color!

I have been using threads from Connecting Threads for 3-4 years now. It tends to be the first place I look when I need thread, I like that free shipping at $50, I can always find that much.

I use their Essentials 50wt cotton for everything. The color coordinated sets of 1,000 yd spools are a great price for what you get. I do also like Gutermann cotton thread but is twice as expensive.

I love it! I use the 100% cotton in my Bernina and Brother and their long arm thread is fantastic! No issues at all!
