I think it breaks a lot easier than other threads too. Won't be ordering any more of it.

It is for hand quilting. Doesn't seem the coating on Gutermann is as heavy as Coats & Clark.

I searched "Connecting Threads" and the cotton hand quilting thread is "Essential" brand. Here's a link. Would you mind checking and seeing if this is the right one? Thanks! http://www.connectingthreads.com/thr...ml?showAll=yes

Mine knots and tangles when I try to make the thread too long as well. I havent tried the guterman hand quiling thread yet though.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a great place to buy thread!

I ordered some Thread Heaven today and I'm sure hoping that will keep me from pulling my hair out with this thread continually tangling up.
