I'm a Glide fan for all the donation QOV I do. There is hardly any lint in comparison to a cotton which requires cleaning at every bobbin change. Plus you can't beat the price. My Gammill Vision 2 loves it. I don't have a bit of trouble with the tension. And that is worth it's weight in gold. It was even a funny situation, when I was choosing a thread at a store with my husband, he asked for divorce because he was jealous that I didn't analyze him at our first date as thoroughly as those threads.
