I have found the cotton covered poly to be really linty and I don't have this issue with the poly covered poly.
ISn'tthe XP say poly covered poly tho? I thought it did and I couldn't figure why? Why cover poly with poly? I used to use Cotton covered poly for my clothing sewing but with quilting...thought different and I haven't been able eto find it anyway. I didn't know about the poly cutting cotton... hum...
And to.. the price...I want the best to last the longest, but C&C is so expensive and as much that is used for a quilt...it just costs so much!'I get lint with every kind I have used!!!!
