Prism99, have you used Gutermann thread for hand quilting, and if so, did you have any problems? I recently used it to hand-sew a binding, and had so much trouble with it that I invented a few new swear words and promised myself I'd go back to Bottom Line and never stray again. I'm wondering if it was just me? Or is hand-sewing binding so different from hand-quilting that it made that big of a difference? (I'm not a hand-quilter.) Maybe I got a different kind of Gutermann?
