So did I, and I see on this link that Gütterman sells the sulky products but not in US, Canada or Mexico so I guess that makes more sense to me now as the OP is in Australia. http://www.sulky-international.de/sc...p?seite_id=181

I thought Sulky and Gutterman were different, too.

I only found out they were the same when I got a SULKY leaflet in a thread box I'd ordered from the US and saw the shade numbers - they're the same. Over here you'd find Gutermann SULKY on the same stand with the rest of the Gutermann threads.

It doesn't mean that it is machine embroidery thread. For the most part emb thread is either rayon or polyester. If its 100% cotton then you can quilt with it. This yr at the Floriani event they now too make quilting threads in all different colors including varigated. These threads would be too heavy to make embroidery with them. You are fine as long as it says 100% cotton.

Me, too! They used to be 2 different companies, but evidently they have merged now. I know a woman who works for Sulky. I'll have to ask her about it.

I don't see an issue - I know a lot of LA use Glide and Isacord threads which are both Polyester I believe. Isacord is sold mainly as an embroidery thread.
