    Default How much do you pay for thread?
    I just purchased 1 spool of Mettler silk-finish 100% cotton. 164 yds. It cost me $4.25. I was kind of shocked. I haven't purchased thread in about 4 years. I can't remember paying that much. Is that normal or is that kind of high?

    Cotton prices are rising. Was it purchased from a LQS?
