I purchased this thread after reading about it here. I love it. It gives off so much less lint. It is very economical, too. I pieced 5 adult throws with one spool. That includes the bobbins! Order one or two and try it.

Yep, I've got two - the old 730 and the 1090 and they both love the Essentials thread. It also works well in my Baby Lock and Singer Quantum. I've heard others say they were advised by Janome not to use anything but Gutermann thread in their machines. Other than that, I haven't come across an complaints.
I've purchased four sets and been using them since they came out with no problems. I find them to be strong, yet leaves little lint. I love the vast assortment of colors, especially for machine quilting. Good luck on whatever you decide. Can't beat their prices, either!
Happy quilting,

Yes, I have a Bernina. It does fine on my machine. I have had, on only one spool, a little trouble with a varigated thread. It was only the one spool, I have used others just fine. I do find it lints up a little, though not nearly like the cheaper c&c or other cheapie threads.
I would recommend getting it. I use it all the time

I just ordered three sets of CT thread and I love it. I have a Bernina and it sews beautifully with this thread.
I store my thread on a thread rack like this----I have 6 of them hanging on the wall in my quilt room
