I used coats and singer thread for the longest time now because
it was cheap, available at wally world plus wally mart and i
poo-poo'ed the thread quality and stitch quality issues *BUT* ,
curious and weary of thread dust, i recently bought some
gutterman and mettler from the local sew retailer. As little as i
sew i noticed a difference immediately including less thread dust
in the bobbin case.
so i guess i am a convert unless one of my old singer boxes
chokes on the new fangled thread then i will feed it the coats or
singer thread :) Rob
