I used to use Gutterman for piecing and was very happy with it until I tried Aurifil. For me, the best part about Aurifil is that it is thin, so more yardage gets wound onto the bobbin. That way I'm not having to stop and rewind the bobbin at often.

I am in love with Master Piece from Superior for my piecing. I usually use a cone but they do sell spools. They may cost a little more but I love the fact that they make a great product and are located in the US thereby creating US jobs. I like Aurifil thread too but their co.is located in Italy.

Aurifil rocks! I teach free motion quilting and have students compare by feel and sight, an icky cotton to the Aurifil-makes the case on it's own. I like the larger spool too.

I've never tried it. I have a tendency to buy the least expensive stuff, but will definitely keep this in mind when working on an important project! Thanks for the review.

Hi there! I used to use Gutterman cotton in mymachine and had no problems with this but then read a review by Lily's quilts on Aurifil. I have heard lots about it too. I was surprised by the price for what you get. It is very budget friendly. I am much cheaper buying this than the Gutterman from my local haberdashery ( i know not v supportive but times are hard for all of us ). It is lovely to use and lasts for ages. It does a lovely job for machine quilting and is so smooth. Apparently I should be able to use to 50wt cotton for hand quilting too. I do a lot of this so I will need to give it a go!
