Thanks Maminstl for the Fabric.com suggestion. It appears they regular price is quite a bit cheaper than the vendor on Amazon. I see that all of their Aurifil thread is listed as quilting thread.

Thanks everyone for responding. Prism99 here are the two links.
Here is the link to the quilting thread
http://www.amazon.com/Aurifil-Quilti...aurifil+thread
Here is the link to the Maco thread

I know they are different colors but both are available in a variety of colors on this site. The color of the spool looks the same.

Well, I think they're the same thread. One of the sellers on Amazon is fabric.com, though, and the other is Peak Designs fulfilled by Amazon. So, they're not the same vendor.
I also think they're both the same size regular spool, not a cone. Both mention 1300 meters.
I've never been lucky enough to catch a fabric.com sale on Aurifil before they run out of the neutral colors I want. By the time I get to the sale, all the colors have an in-stock quantity of 0!
I have ordered in the past from this website: http://www.sewezdesigns.com/Aurifil1.html and been very pleased. It's a little more of a hassle because her website can be confusing to navigate, plus she has to price-adjust the shipping. You do have to be careful that you are ordering the 50wt; I got confused on one order and got some 40wt that is now sitting in my drawer. I haven't checked her prices lately, but they were among the best when I ordered some time ago.
