So far so good! I purchased these for use in my Brother PE770 (embroidery machine) specifically to create lace masks. During the complete stitch out (2 halves) I only had 1 thread breakage and a small amount of 'lint' (and the breakage may have been an improperly wound bobbin.. the thread in it was a bit loose). The spools are quite nice, fit in the machine easily and I think I actually prefer this spool style from others I have been using. The thread itself stitches smoothly and I look forward to dying the white at a later date. I would like a black and white pack (without grays) - but am happy with this thread enough that it has gone to my 'shopping list' for down the road when I need to replace it.

It is a good deal, high quality and never breaks on me

I use this brand of thread in all of my sewing and quilting. It is a good deal, high quality and never breaks on me. Beware of people who say another more expensive brand is better, they get free product or even money to be 'influencers'. I sew all day, every day with this thread and I can tell you some other brands may be 'as good' but nothing is better and this has a fairer price so I will always buy and use it proudly.

This Thread is AWESOME & the colors are Great !!

I love this thread & the cost was great !!! I have ordered twice from this company & I have NO complaints whatsoever. Love the colors of the thread & it was a Great Deal. I received it in good condition & was packaged very well. I used it on both my Brother machines & sewed like a dream. I will definitely order again.Thanks for a Great Product ♥♥♥

Love this thread!

I have just started making quilts this year and have already spent way too much money on rulers and fabric and all the wonderful stuff that comes along with this new obsession. However, I've been trying to find ways to cut costs without cutting quality. I was astounded to discover how expensive thread can be! So I was so relieved to find Connecting Threads. I can't compare this thread to the more expensive 50-weights out there such as Aurifil because I've never used the other brands, but, after two full-sized quilts and many pillows, I am very happy to report that this thread works perfectly. Throughout all of those projects, my thread has broken twice, and both times were actually due to mistakes I made versus anything wrong with the thread itself. They have a huge range of colors and it's so darn affordable. I highly recommend this thread to anyone who is struggling to scrape together the hundreds of dollars necessary to afford Aurifil and other high-priced brands.

Great, lintless thread for free-motion quilting.

This thread is awesome. I am a new free-motion quilter. I have made three quilts. On the first quilt I used polyester (practice quilt for myself), which I did not like the look of, so on the second I decided to use cotton. I purchased a very well know, very expensive, cotton thread and was astounded at the amount of lint, it truly was overwhelming. I was coughing and sneezing and I had to clean out my machine multiple times. I then made a third quilt and I used Connecting Threads cotton thread on my third quilt. Very little lint which made me very happy, because I like the look of the cotton thread much more than that of the polyester. This is great thread.

... 5 SETS OF THE CONNECTING THREAD SETS AND I LOVE THE VARIETY OF COLORS

I HAVE PURCHASED 5 SETS OF THE CONNECTING THREAD SETS AND I LOVE THE VARIETY OF COLORS. THE THREAD SEWS WELL ON MY BERNINA SEWING MACHINE. I HAVE A SMALL CRAFT BUSINESS CREATING QUILTED PROJECTS AND I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND THE EXACT COLORS I NEED. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT. THE SPOOLS COME FULL AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

Great quality for a very reasonable price!

I have expensive machines and cannot use cheap threads that have excessive lint, so I usually use Sulky or Madeira. These threads are of excellent quality! Since I was doing costumes for a musical, I knew we would be going through a lot of thread so I ordered these. They are low lint, and you get a lot for what you pay for! By the way, I learned that grey threads are a good neutral color and can be used with almost any color fabric :o) I hope this company stays around for awhile because I am coming back for more!

Great colors

The colors are bright and the amount of thread on each spool is great. I do a great deal of sewing and having lots of thread per spool is going to be very helpful. After using this thread for several items, I'll add to my review. Since my first purchase, I've added more colors. I am very happy with this thread, as it sews very well. The thread hasn't broken at all in my machine,(a Viking). Also, with so many colors it is easy to match fabric and thread. All in all, a very good purchase. An addition to the previous review: I ordered more colors and am very pleased with the thread and especially the amount of thread on each spool. I was embroidering and the embroidery thread just wouldn't cooperate, so after a period of frustration I used the thread from connecting threads and SUCCESS! I was able to finish the project and it looks great. I've been using connecting threads for several months now and was very pleased to find a set of white and black available and I quickly ordered those colors, as you can never have enough on hand. I find my machine operates very well with Connecting Threads.

Very good quality and extremely good price

Very good quality and extremely good price. I typically use Aurifill thread but my mom, a seasoned quilter, said Connecting Thread thread is very good. I'll buy more sets for sure!

Very pleased!

I'm a quilt artist and sell my art quilts for top dollar... I'm a diehard Aurifil thread user because of the quality, but a friend recommended these to use instead for my regular quilts mostly for cost savings. I have to say I am very pleased to far. Then I tried it for my art quilts. It did take a little adjusting of my machine and testing to get it perfect as it's a 3 ply instead of a 2 ply, but I got it. And bonus, it shows up a lot nicer being just a hair thicker. I do a LOT of thread painting and sketching along with quilting so thread color and quality is very high on my list. This thread is right up there! And for the price, it is a deal! Will still use a finer thread in my bobbin, (I use a 60wt normally or a 2 ply 50wt), as it just works better for thread painting, but this works very well for quilting and other sewing in the bobbin too.. I will absolutely be buying more of this. I bought two of the color ways and will be getting them all so I have any color I need. Also, one of the spools had a lot of fuz on it which made it shred at the needle eye and break. I wrote them more as an FYI as I know this is from a manufacturing process, and Connecting Threads replaced it ASAP. WOW! Nice service guys!!!
