Gutermann thread?
#33
I just used that thread on a project. If I told you that it is $14.50 a spool in our LQS, would it make you feel that you were using a good product?.....(I can't believe .50c for the same product when our dollar has parity with yours).

gutterman thread is excellent...it is my preferred thread on my viking machine. Just make sure you use machine quilting thread if you are quilting with it and not hand sewing thread. You can use it in the bobbin also.

I am gonna use it in the top shown as I think it will blend well. Soo, I have a few questions..
1) Can I use my normal quilting thread for the bobbins?
2) What is everyones experience with this brand? Any problems I should be aware of?

Gutterman also is available for hand quilting, which has a waxed coating to keep it from tangling. You should not use this type in a sewing machine as it will gum up the mechanics. Make sure you purchase the type specifically for machine quilting.

I have that exact same spool in my stash of thread. I'm currently using it on a quilt of the month at my LQS. It looks really neat as decoration around yellow flowers! I use this brand a lot, and have had no problems at all with it. Enjoy!
