Hobby Lobby also has hand quilting thread in colors. I'm using some now and it is working fine. I also have a big supply of Gutterman's that someone recently gave me - along with the display case. I'm anxious to try it out. Got to finish this on going project first.

I bought 3 spools of Gutermann's hand quilting thread @ Joann's this a.m. At 40% off of 220-yd spools, I expect I would have done better, $$$, to order a 1200-yd. cone from Red Rock Threads + pay shipping & handling. But, not in a mood to pinch pennies over it right now.
Thank you all very much for your responses.
