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:

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!!!

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.
