I just got rid of all of my low quality thread that I bought before realizing the difference between thread brands and types.
Now I piece exclusively with Aurifil 50 wt mako thread and I quilt with either Sulky or Aurifil thread. For machine embroidery I use Gutterman or Sulky threads.
Aurifil is expensive but my machine never has issues with it, it never breaks and I can get A LOT on a bobbin. It is wonderful for hand piecing too.
If you're free motion quilting and you notice lint flying up in the air I suggest getting rid of whatever thread that is. Your sewing machine will thank you for it!
