    Superior Threads or Atlanta Thread Company are both sources- i tend to shop with Superior most often- they have a large selection and lots of free resource information...Atlanta is a good reliable company too- both have been around for a long time.

    I had someone quilt a quilt for me with nonofilament thread. Over the years it has cut the fabric. I would never use that thread. Just my FYI.
