Gutermann Thread
I love my Gutermann, it's the only thread I have in the house. However last
night I came across what for me is very very strange. My roll of 100% cotton/cotton appeared to be "cut" every 20-25 inches. Now if I was using this on my machine I'd be spitting nails but because I happen to be hand sewing the whirlimacallits together (getting there real good - should be finished the top in another ooooooooooh 2 months!) it was okay because it saved me reaching for the scissors! Has this ever happened to you? I tried to find a contact on their website who was remotely local but for some reason it didn't want to work, so I sent a note to the email on their home page. Who knows if I'll get a response. Just curious whether others have had this happen. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos ********************** |

She had taken my craft knife and scored the thread cone. She was probably 10. It seems I had never told her NOT to do that. This is the same child who put her tongue on the sweater shaver. I can't believe she grew up. Cindy |

Sharon -
It sounds as though the thread may have been cut through when the shipping box was opened by the store clerk. I have noticed this problem with items in all kinds of shops, including the yarn shop where I work. It takes very little pressure to cut through a box or tape, and if items are packed tightly, the razor can score the items below the box seam.

was opened by the store clerk. I have noticed this problem with items in all kinds of shops, including the yarn shop where I work. It takes very little pressure to cut through a box or tape, and if items are packed tightly, the razor can score the items below the box seam. I'm with you, Joyce. I buy only Gutermann thread--cotton and polyester, spool and cone---and I have never come across this problem. Because it is in increments tells me that it may have been cut while someone was opening the box. |
