I am having the darndest time trying to differentiate threads, let alone decide which to buy!! I had bought a nice big roll of Aurifil at my LQS at the suggestion of the store. She said it was cotton something with some sort of ply maybe... 3 ply? Or maybe 3 strand? I don't remember, but they were very certain that it was THE thread to use.
Since then, I've gotten a new Babylock and I do definitely love the Aurifil. It's like butter in my machine. Also, I do tend to be one of those "particular" kinds of people. I'm NOT a brand snob, but I do think there's something to be said for quality.
That said, I just don't want to keep paying $11 for a spool of thread (though it did last a looonnnnggg time) unless I have to.
Please help me. Lol.

try connecting threads- much better prices than your lqs for aurifil thread- i use it all the time too- great thread- they have a good thread selection at good prices- and free shipping at $50 so if you can stock up it is really a deal to not spend shipping costs.
i use lots of threads from connecting threads- the 100% cottons, the poly's the silks. they have a new machine quilting thread that is great- i just love their threads- great prices and great color selections
