Can you all discuss what brands you use and why and what brands to stay away from.
I know why to use good thread but I do not know how to tell good thread from bad thread before I buy it.
JoAnns has a sale on a whole cabinet of a 100 spools of Gutermann thread for 79.99 on there blackFriday deal.
Is this a good thread?
I just got a really nice Brother sewing machine and I hate toruin it with bad thread but I really need some thread for it.
:roll:
I used C&C on one quilt... I am still reinforcing seams! My old standby is Gutterman and I will not try anything new for a while. They are coming out with some beautiful variegated threads now.
