I bought some one day, then back the next, and next. Finally I went in and bought the remaining Gutterman thread.

This basket is 16" X 24" and better than half full. I spent $100 total for $1000 worth of thread!
I think you need to SHARE the wealth... :thumbup:

Don't feel bad. Just think of all the money that you saved and now can spend of FABRIC!

Did you get every color you will need, or if there just happens to be another sale will you need to get more? LOL Really, a great find!!!!!

Good for you!! I got to do that once when Hancock Fabrics closed in Las Vegas. It's really nice to have good thread at that price. It's been several years and I still have some of that thread. ENJOY!!!

Wow! Great buy!!! About 20 years ago a local fabric store was closing and had a basket of thread, all Gutermann in all sorts of colors for 90% off. I asked her how much for the whole lot and bought it all. Don't remember what I paid, but my husband couldn't understand why I would buy such "ugly" colors. I sew for people and those colors have been a Godsend for me. Funky greens, yellows and oranges have come back. The nice thing about Gutermann is that it is polyester so will not go bad. I have never had a problem with any of it breaking or fading and I still have some of the odder colors left.
