Hi, I just had a problem with Guterman variegated thread on my Bailey quilting machine. Apparently variegated thread has a twist to it and if you have a stitching problem with it, turn the spool over and see if that works. For me, I had to use a size 18 needle to get it to work and I found it very linty.

You are SO RIGHT......Coats & Clark threads are very linty and you need to really clean out your machine a lot if you use that brand.

I have always used C&C machine quilting thread and that is the only complaint I really have about it. Other than this, I like the way it performs and looks. I do a complete tear down and cleaning of whatever I can get unscrewed and get to after every 5 bobbins though so... so far, no problems.

Gutterman works great. It is recommended to use with my Viking. I also use connecting Thread and have not had any problem with it on the Kenmore.

I am gonna use it in the top shown as I think it will blend well. Soo, I have a few questions..
1) Can I use my normal quilting thread for the bobbins?
2) What is everyones experience with this brand? Any problems I should be aware of?

Gutterman is my thread of choice. It always treats me (my featherweight and Bernina) with grace. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny!

I generally use Gutterman. Or King Tut, and Mettler. C&C gums up and not good on the machine. When you spend all the time and money on your quilt, you need to use good thread. Luv your quilt.
