I agree, I love Connecting Threads threads. Won't use anything else.

I recently ordered some of the thread and just started using it. I like it really well. I'm thinking about ordering some other colors. :lol:

I am curious that many of you use (and prefer) Guterman. The Guterman is poly, right? So quite different from cotton thread (I don't expect nearly the lint from poly, and it's probably stronger).

I like the look of cotton thread for topstitching (haven't tried Connecting Threads) but my machine doesn't seem to like it so much.

BTW I buy my Gutermans when it's on sale at JoAnn's.

Thanks! I've always wanted to try their thread, but didn't want to pay the shipping.

Love their thread. Have been using it for awhile, and I am expecting a pkg. any day from them. Can't wait. They really do have good service.

Does anyone use it? How is it? Their prices seem extremely reasonable, and I might throw a thread collection on my graduation wishlist if you guys think it's good enough. :)


I started out using their variegated threads, now it is all I use. I buy the great big spools of the neutrals and have several of the "sets". Great place; great customer service!

Use it all the time it is wonderful & great colors also.

I use it almost exclusively for piecing....not so much for quilting.

It does produce more lint than others, but I too like the colors for piecing and fmq. If I use Bottom Line by Superior Threads in the bobbin - then everything works out great!
