I have an APQS and love the Connecting Threads also--both the polyestor and the cotton.

Glide is 6.20 for white for a 5000 meter cone (roughly 4,572 yards). this works out to be .0013 per yard so it is cheaper per yard
Colors are $7.20 (.0015 per yard) so still cheaper per yard by a fraction of a cent
Metro embroidery thread is only 2.75 for a 5000 meter cone. So if you are looking for the least expensive way to quilt charity quilts the metro is the way to go. My LA has absolutely no issues with it. You can try out a small cone of 1000 meters for .89 cents.
It really is a nice thread.

I get my pantographs from Quiltrecipes.com
They give you a free program. You buy the designs you want and the program will print them out to any size you need. You just tape the pages together. You enter the height and width you want to do and it figures out how many repeats you need and the best size.
The designs run from $4 up. Sometimes you like a pattern but need it smaller, or bigger, so you don't have to buy another panto, just reprint it at the size you need. Check it out. Ann
