Are you looking for a thinner or thicker thread? Does it have to be cotton?

It was definitely saw it on the quilt. And I don't know if you'd be happy quilting an entire quilt with it.
I probably have a spool or two around. Somewhere. :roll:
Check out these sites (I'm too lazy today) - each carries many different types of thread. One of them should have what you want.
