I love gutermann thread! My old machine would act up with other kinds. I since have gotten a new machine but have stuck with gutermann. It goes on sale pretty regularly at Joanns. I never have a problem with it breaking or anything.

Beautiful quilt!
For those that get their guterman thread at JoAnn's does your store carry the guterman polyester thread or cotton thread?
Mine just carries the polyester thread and I was wondering. (Might have to add this to my list for today)

About best you can buy on the market. I use this brand with my embroidery machine.
Gutermann is a great thread to use.

I like the thread from Connecting Threads, lot less lint and fuzz than Coats and Clark.
To answer your question about what to use in your bobbin with the varigated Gutterman thread, use the varigated thread on the top and another color and/or brand of thread in the bobbin but first try it out on some fabric scraps. Sew several long rows of stitching, check the top and bottom stitches and if they are OK go for it. You never know how different threads react to each other. May in Jersey

Thanks again ya'll! I will do what was suggested by May and test run it first with my usual bobbin thread. I do appreciate all the thoughts about it, that really helps ease the nerves. For some reason I find it thrilling to go outside the box yet it is also a bit nerve-racking at the same time.

I reckon the best answer is this:
I have a helluva time lining squares up, always have, and wanted to break the whole process down to see where my "issue" was. I ended up discovering that I not only had an issue, I had a whole subscription of "issues"! Once I figured out what they were and how to fix them, well... the quilt just kinda grew as I learned. I would highly recommend(sp?) this type of process to anyone struggling with an area themselves. Maybe not such a large scale thing but more of a "Going back to basics to get it right" type thing. LoL!
