I shop Walmart for items that can't be found anywhere else in this town. I won't drive an hour to avoid Walmart and end up at a Target to get the same things. :?

Just remember that lint collects in the tension discs and under the feed dogs as well as in the bobbin case, and you have to be a bit more proactive in searching it out in those areas because it's out of sight.

Just recently made my first purchase from Connecting Threads......couldn't be happier. I was using Mettler Silk finish from the LQS 500 yds spools......bought a cone from CT that is 5000 yds for the same price!!!!

Howdy from Texas!

I'm new posting to the board - but have been following it & enjoying all your topics for awhile now.
I'm a long-time quilter, quilt lover and FABRIC collector (most of all!!) :)

I've used the CT thread on 5 or 6 quilts now, and so far I really like it. I've had no problems at all, I have Pfaff & Viking machines.

If you're new to quilting, please beware of using polyester threads in piecing your quilts - poly thread is stronger than all-cotton fabric - and with time and use, it will cut into the fabric. No one wants all their beautiful work to come apart !!

Love the thread and the colors, but it pluged up my Janome machine with lint and that cost me $80 to fix. Sure wish I could though. My LAQ uses poly covered with cotton

:) Hi, I just read your post on thread. I used to use "connecting thread" I now use thread by "SUPERIOR THREAD". If you don't like the thread, you can return it. I order on line and they have "try me" specials. You will see the lint difference. It really is superior.

Thanks, Eddie! Your thread info. was a wake-up call for me. I'd been taking thread for granted for years, altho' I gave up buying or using the bargain bin threads many, many years ago. In fact, I did not realize that C&C Dual Duty is less than half cotton. Altho' the local Joann's sells Gutermann's, I always bought Coats&Clark, at half-price when possible. Joann's is handy when I've miscalculated and need another spool or 2 to finish a quilt. (I have to "unstitch" a lot and thank God for seam rippers). In future, I will try to stay one step ahead and order my threads from Connecting Threads. I just placed an order for some of the basic colors, although I wanted at least 1 of every color they have. I did some shopping around, after reading other responses to your "thread" thread, but was appalled at the prices, so I hope to be happy with Essential.

i usually buy threads from bayside quilting when they have a sale. i'll have to make a comparison. the best i ever used was king tut, but it is soooo expensive!
