Sue,that's the best price I've seen for single spools. I won't be needing any for a longtime - bought 2 of the 24 spool boxes from Tristan's. Today I used a turquoise I never would have had without those assortments.

what is the link for ... 8 for $15? the above link has more than 35 pages of stuff to look thru... got a quicker way to find it? thanks,

I do see a '6 for price' but it is for the same color, not your choice of colors, is that the same for the 8 for $15?

Try this link, Sue http://www.tristan.bc.ca/cart/home.p...rt_direction=0

If it doesn't work, go to previous link, on the left click on Aurifil. It's 10 pages - then sort by price... The above is for poly, I think. But if you go to pg. 9 or 10, you'll find cotton sets. Or if you want to try smaller spools there are sets of 12 for $20. You can also click on doorcrasher on the left, that'll take you to the biggest assortment special for the month.

I got two of the doorcrasher specials in April, $56 each for 24 spools!

Hi, I just checked the Bernina USA website. This is quote from there:
Frequently Asked Questions
Do BERNINA® machines "prefer" polyester thread to 100% cotton thread?
A BERNINA® sewing machine will sew with almost any thread, but remember that your time and talent, as well as the fine quality of the BERNINA® machine, deserve top quality thread for the best results. Select quality thread brands like Mettler, Isacord, Madeira, Sulky and YLI.

We suggest Mettler's Metrosene long staple polyester for most of your garment construction sewing. When piecing 100% cotton fabrics for a quilt or quilted garment, Mettler Silk Finished Cotton is an excellent thread choice. Both threads are high quality with a consistent diameter, even with darker dyes, and the long staple means that there is very little fuzz build-up on the thread path and inside the machine.

For embroidery, we suggest Isacord Polyester thread, Mettler Polysheen Polyester thread, Mettler 30 wt and 60 wt cotton thread, and Yenmet Metallic Wrapped Polyester Thread. YLI and Superior also make good quality embroidery threads as does Sulky.

Aurifil is wonderful. but I much prefer connecting threads or signature threads.
