I'm not really sure about why but I have a friend whose machine will only sew Gutterman. She has tried several brands and she tell me "the others throw up on the back"! Love that description!

My thread stash is huge, but I so longarm quilting and most of it is for that. I have to have the colors I need for customer quilts as well as my own.

A friend told me to use grey thread for most sewing of the quilt pieces. Works well!

No my thread stash is not as big as my fabric stash. But it is getting larger since I joined Superiors thread of the month club. I love the thread & all the colors that come every month. I wish I had $$ to join a second club.

No Way do I have much thread, it's really pitiful. I have tons of Coats and Clark thread but my Bernina has a mini-fit if I use it. So I use a great deal of beige and gray for piecing. And if I want to highlight something, then I have to buy one small spool for that.

Superior thread guru Bob says there really isn't any difference; you can ask the Bernina repair person to reset your machine to the brand of thread you generally use (which is what I did). Some threads do tend to have more lint than others, but reallly its your preference. Just be sure to clean out the bobbin case every time you change bobbins!

I have a very large stash of threads.
Right now probably a larger stash than
fabric as I do a lot of machine embroidery
and art quilts with thread painting.
