    I love Gutterman's for hand quilting and I also buy it when on sale-I tend to use more white/beige than colors, so I load up when it is on sale. I also found (strange, but true) living in the tropics (very high humidity) I got mould on my C&C hand quilting thread but strangely, not on the Gutterman's! It is a little more expensive, but worth it.

    I've been using Gutterman for piecing and hand quilting. For machine quilting I use King Tut.

    When I took my maching to the shop recently, I was told I shouldn't use Coats & Clark because it makes too much lint. She said this as she pulled gobs & gobs of lint out of my machine. Got to change my thinking about thread.

    Gutterman Thread is great. It is all I use and just love the hand quilting thread. Tried CC but really didn't like it. Thread on sale Aug 20 at Joann's. Time to stock up

    You can clean the lint out yourself.
    It's true that C&C makes a lot of lint usually, but just lately it seems that they've changed something and there's less lint than there ever was before. In only the newest spools that is.
    I don't often use it, but I had an awful lot of it on hand from before I started using Guttermann's, so on occasion I try to use it up. I use my oldest machine and clean out the lint with each use. It's really easy to do depending on the machine of course.
    Not using it, or tossing it out, is such a waste of money. (The C&C)

    But I have found thread to get old and brittle, especially cotton. I had a neighbor that was complaining about her thread breaking all the time. I suggested she change the needle, which didn't help. Then I discovered her thread was on the old wooden spools with a 39cent price tag on it. She bought new thread and problem solved. I use the old spools ffor decorative purposes only.

    Oh I know. But I'm not talking about old thread here. My C&C was bought only in the last few years. I was introduced to Guttermann's a couple of years ago. Some of my C&C is the blended thread. I'd hate to just get rid of that. So, as I said, I use it in my old (35 years) Kenmore which was used to handling any kind of thread you stuffed into it, without a complaint. ;) Then, after the project is finished, I clean all the lint out of it, oil it, and it's ready for the next one.
