Price increase in thread
#21
Poly thread will last longer then dirt. Good cotton thread will last for many decades. I have cotton thread on spools from my great grandmother and it's still as strong as ever. If you are worried about long term storage put the thread in a vacuum seal bag

Oh no, seems like everything we quilters buy is going up in price.

I bought a spool of dual duty yesterday. It only had 250 yds and cost $2.65 +.16 tax for a total of $2.81. I am going to empty all my old spools before shopping again. I saw some fabrics (batiks) that were 15.99 a yd. Guess my quilts will be scrappy.
