    I have tried Gutterman using it on two different models of Bernia sewing machines and I was unhappy with the result so discontinued using it. I like Prescenia (spelling)when I can afford it. I use Aurifil, Mettler, and King Tut which my two machines seem to like also. Just my opinion. Kelela

    OK I just had a problem with a thread and for piecing you need a 60wt 2 ply cotton. I have found all threads are not the same and can be pricey too! This type of thread is the best of the best for piecing!

    Your quilt is beautiful. I use Mettler,Gutterman and Maderia thread. I use the same thread in my bobbin that I sew with. My sewing machine dealer, says never buy Coats and Clark as it is cheap thread. That is their opinion.I do use Coats and Clark sewing machine quilting thread. I think it is a matter of what your machine does with each kind. If the thread keeps breaking then change it to something a little heavier. My opinion, Matter of preference.

Lots of graph paper and a sharpener kept handy for the colored pencils while I was drafting it! I did break it down into 25-patch "blocks" if ya will and had made up a chart to follow while working on it. (see pic) The chart was the key to bringing it together as I marked pressing directions and checked each block off as it was finished. So glad ya'll like it, I was thinking about maybe entering it in the fair this summer to see what happens. But... I don't know, that will depend on how the quilting goes. LoL

    I'VE NEVER USED GUTTERMAN THREAD. I DO LIKE THE STAR THREAD. YOU QUILT IS STUNNING AND THE COLORS ARE GLORIOUS. YOU SHOULD MAKE A MASTER PATTERN AND SHARE OR SELL IT. I FOR ONE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN MAKING THAT DESIGN........

    I am OK with Guttermann, but my sewing repair shop (for my Viking) says that it flakes off and gets into the machine and isn't good for it. I still use what I have but unless I can't get a color I want I buy other brands.
