Gutterman and Coats and Clarks thread are 2 of my least favorite now that I have discovered thread on fabric.com
They have several different brands, but I am still trying them out. I really like "King Tut" thread. There is more on a spool than what you think at first glance. There are other brands that I like too, but not so much Gutterman. I can't really say why, except when my C&C started shredding, I switched to Gutterman and it shredded too.

Thank you for your interesting comments on the thread. I have now been alerted that the thread could be made in Mexico - silly me thought that it was German. So from now on I will check - it just never occurred to me.

When I use a new spool I always remove the sticky label on the top so I cannot go and see where it was made.

The owner of the local LQS sold me some 50wt Guterman thread to use in quilting and I wanted to use for free motion quilting---the thread constantly broke and now I use it in the bobbin.

I use Gutermann thread all the time , but will only use the one that says ------ Germany on it.

glad to hear there going to replace it .

All my gutermann thread sayes made in greece
