My stepmother (a professional quilter and instructor) told me the worst thing I could do for my Pfaff was using Coats and Clark in it. So now I piece and sew with either Gutermann's or Metrosene.
Glad to know it isn't just me! Unfortunately, unless I can match the color closely with Gutermann's, I will need to finish and just battle it out. I will go to Joann's today (if DH will drive me!) and see if I can find a close color. I REALLY hate it!! I actually have several spools of CC's hand-quilting thread I bought (50% off at Joann's) and now will never use them. What a waste! I wonder if they will take them back???
