Ebay has some reasonably priced thread collections, my daughter bought a couple for me for mothers day last year, I've used most of the colors and they are great to have so I don't have to run to the store to find thread that matches. I'm not sure of quality, but I do go for 100% cotton.

I love hand applique and have a collection of 50 wt. of Aurifil threads so that I always have a shade that blends well. It also saves money in the long run because I'm not running to the stores trying to find the correct shade for each new project. It works for me.

I had the opportunity to purchase a chest of Madeira threads
a couple of years ago....at a big discount...and I have never regretted it. I got into machine applique and was very happy to have all the colors and shades to choose from.

I have bought several collections. One from thread art one from sulky and one from floriani. I like have a lot of choices when I am doing a project. My husband uses alot of the thread for the embroidery.. We have not been sorry about buying collections. We just keep adding to them.
