Only the top half is completely together at this point.

That is one awesome quilt - what a huge undertaking! (And as a Taurus too, I know what you mean about doing things in your own way!) Please let us know how it quilts up! :D

Beautiful quilt. I have used Gutterman thread in my bobbin and on top of both my regular sewing machine and my HQ and had no problems Works good.

Gutterman thread is one of the highest quality threads out there. I wait for the 50% off sales to purchase. I have used it for over 10 years and have never had a problem. I am sure you will be pleased with the results.

It is the only thread that I use. I love the colors and so nice to quilt with as I hand quilt.

I love Gutermann thread esepecially the large spools. A much better bargain when you can get them for half price. I hate running out of thread. My machine likes it too.

Love the colors, love the thread. I always like to quilt with varigates when I can. You can use a thread in your bobbin that better matches your backing, just be sure the weight is the same as the top thread or you might have problems.

I am using Gutterman thread for hand quilting right now. It is great and doesn't tangle.
Have you ever used BOTTOM LINE for the bobbin thread? It is a very fine thread and just seems to melt into the fabric. I have used a neutral color on several machine quilted quilts and it blends in so well. Since it is so fine your bobbin holds LOTS and requires less stops for refilling.
