Does anyone use the Connecting Threads Essential Cotton Thread?
$2.49 for 1200 yds is a great deal if the thread is a good quality.

I use it in both of my home machines and my longarm. Yes it lints up, I always clean the bobbin cases and bobbin. For the price you can't go wrong for everyday sewing, but I also use bottom line & so fine in my bobbins at times. I use the type of thread that goes best with what I am working on at the time.

Yes, I do and I love it. I too, was thinking of buying the larger cones, when I'd use a whole spool to fmq a project. I got several colors I 'd use most of and sure think there are a better investment. I've also gotten several of their brightly colored thread collections, when they're on sale.
