    Coats is not liked by any of my Janomes...threw all my coats away. It might work fine for some. I found it linty as well.

    Coats and Clark threads are equivalent to repairs on all my machines. I was told by a staff member at one of the quilt shops in Panama City, FL that Coats and Clark threads are no longer made in the USA. This brand of thread comes from China.

    I use C&C metallic. It does not shred like the other metallic thread when I'm fmq with it. I don't use C&C for piecing though.

    Heavens, I use C & C and have for years. Starting with maternity clothes 54 years ago, baby clothes, children's clothes and now quilts. I have never had a problem and will continue to use this thread. My Janome Horizon and my Viking have no problem with it.

    Same here: both my Bernina Record 830 and my newer Artista are not happy with C & C.

    I've never asked any of my machines (singer, Viking,bl,apps l/a) if they like any kind of thread...I use whatever, C&C among others.....no problem....lint is a byproduct of cotton, thread or fabric....
