    I have a Janome 9000 (my workhorse), a Bernina 440, Featherweight and Janome Platinum. I love this thread, great colors, no lint, works great on all my machines. Since Coats & Clark has changed their Dual Duty to a poor quality thread, this is all I use. I never buy Dual Duty now.

    I have an old Bernina it will take the CT Essential thread just fine, this
    machine is about 26yrs old. It does what I ask of it.As my saying goes
    "try it you might like it" Just had to add my two cents worth

    I have been using their thread for a couple of years & like it very much. If you watch & get it on sale, it's even better! The ONLY drawback is that the color name /number is NOT on the spool so once you take the wrapper off, there's no way to know. I made a chart by copying the page in the catalog with all the colors of ET thread. I cut a small piece of thread & tape it next to the color on the picture. Then I write when I bought it & how much. That way, I know when I need to order more of a certain color. I also keep the label off the wrapper so I can cross-check if necessary. :lol:

    I also have 2 bernina's. An old 830 and a new one (to me). Artista 180. Well ...also a janome memorycraft and my mom's old singer. They all take the essential threads wonderfully. I ordered every one of the sets, but the blacks. They all seem to have wonderful quality with little lint.

    I never thought about the color name, never looked at the name when ordering. I choose my thread by sight. I have found CT thread pictures depict the threads true colors. I love their sets, so pretty.

    We love pumpkin or sweet potato pie! I make it year round. Most times I make the filling and bake it without the pie crust. I call it pumpkin pudding.
