I wouldn't recommend Gutermann thread. I suppose if the only choices I have were that or dollar store thread, I would pick it, but it's linty, lumpy and it's expensive. More expensive by far than Aurifil.
I suspect there are a few reasons that Singer may have recommended it:
- It's a recognizable name.
- It's easily available. Walmart carries it.
- They don't know any better about the quality. It seems it used to be better than it is now. Same thing with Mettler. I have old spools here that are lovely, and new stuff that looks like a furry stuffed animal.
