Hand quilting problem with thread !
#11
I've used Gutterman thread and it's OK - i do like the color selection. My go-to thread is YLI glazed cotton, rarely tangles (& when it does, it's because my piece cut is too long - operator error ) It's really affordable when compared to Gutterman - A spool w/ 400 yds is less than $5. A spool w/ 1100 yds is less than $9. Compare price w/ similar yardage and you'll see.
Sadly, no where locally sells YLI, so I order it online from Rose Rushbrooke. When I order it from Rose, it usually goes out the day or next from when I place the order - It comes from Florida to Ohio in 3 or 4 days. Shipping is pretty reasonable, too.

The brand of thread I bought was Clark's . It says Hand Quilting and Piecing on the spool. I tried the bees wax and that made it worse. Thank You All for your help. I love to make quilts and I am still learning.

I would suggest, if you can, get a spool of 'hand quilting' only thread. Particularly Clarks. Try that with your needle. That will help rule out if your needle is helping to cause the issue. I suspect, though, that since the spool is saying for hand quilting and piecing, it is not specifically for 'hand quilting' as many others are.
