I like to order from Red Rock threads, $4 shipping no matter how many spools and I haven't found a thread I don't like EXCEPT Coats and Clark general purpose

i spent years struggling with threads to quilt with...would spend big bucks at quilt shows just to get it home and find it broke constantly or just did not work well...then i found connecting threads...now my new goal is to own a spool of every thread they have (and they have lots)
i have had great luck with all i've tried so far and the prices are good!

Long Creek Mills in Gastonia, NC is where I like to get my thread. I have had good luck ordering via the web also, however, my daughter lives near there, so when I visit her, I like to go to the store and then to Mary Jo's Cloth Store.
