I've used only Gutermann until recently when I bought some from Connecting Threads, so far no problems. Your quilt is beautiful. And although I'm a capricorn, my philosophy is why do it the easy way when you can do it the hard way....LOL. I don't really do it that way except by mistake, but believe me when I say I've made plenty of mistakes.

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 a good thread to work with have used their cotton thread a lot, however today I had to buy their silk thread for applique as that was all I could get at JoAnns.
Prefer Sulky silk but will give this a try.

Fantastic quilt! You did a wonderful job.
I have one Janome that doesn't like Gutterman thread. But I have 2 others that I have no problems with it.
I don't understand why the machine acts up, but I get nesting and irregular stitches, but if I put in another type of thread like C&C or Metzler, I have no problems.
I guess sewing machines are like people, they have their own preferences.
