A Tale of Two Threads

Normally I buy thread at Joann. Usually Gutermann,  but only if it's on sale or  w/a coupon as the regular price for the big cotton spool (876 yd) is $7.79!  I read about Essential Quilting Thread from Connecting Threads  here and decided to try it. I had never ordered thread online...but I'm so glad I did! I know this sounds crazy...but it's true! Their 1200 yd spool of Satin finish, double mercerized, extra long staple, 100% cotton, size 50/3 thread is only $2.79 a spool!  And it fits standard sewing machine spindles!






AND they have colors galore! AND AND...a couple of weeks ago, they had oodles of colors on clearance for $1.67/spool!!  Needless to say...I bought some...a bunch. 

Total Score!  =)

    I began using Essential Quilting Thread about two months ago, and I LOVE it!

    I tried this a long time ago and my machine just wasn't having it! I was so bummed, it's such a great price!

    I am really enjoying your scripture verses. Those are the threads on which we can rely; they will never break. Hugs!

    My LQS sells Mettler, so I usually use that for piecing quilts, but I just used Aurifil for the first time to free-motion quilt and loved it. It was exciting to get through a whole bobbin without my thread breaking.
