I recently changed over to CT thread too, and can tell a difference, especially that there is alot less fuzz/lint buildup on my presser foot and the little place that my spool lives (don't know what it is called). The CT thread is very reasonably priced, especially when on sale. Walmart sells Coats n Clark for approx 2.49 for 375 yds a spool, where CT has 1200 yds on a spool for 2.19 on sale, regular price is 2.49. Someone else also mentioned that CT has free shipping for orders over 50.00, and it is easy to rack up 50.00 just on thread. CT also has a great color selection. I'm couldn't be more pleased with my CT thread.
