I'm so mad I could eat nails!! I'm out of black embroidery thread and so I go to Wal Mart and guess what --they have stopped carrying it now. How in the heck am I supposed to finish the last train block of my grandsons quilt without the thread I need. Does anyone know where I can order some.
There is no where else within 120 miles from me that I can go shop for any.
sometimes I hate living in the middle of the Oklahoma Panhandle. They want us to shop at home but they don't have what I need most of the time.
Sorry all just had to get this off my mind it's really driving me nuts.

Ooooh how frustrating for you! Sounds like Gale will hook you up! Don't stress, put your feet up and have a well deserved cup of tea!

I looked in my thread stash too! If I had a spool, I would have sent it out to her, but I looked and I, too, am out of black <gasp>

Thank you one and all! :) :) I did a little digging in some of my odds and ends boxes and found enough to finish the train. Thank you for all the leads.
I will check them out and I'll probably just order from now on.

Glad you found enough to get the train block finished!!

While our WalMart does carry fabric (yeah), they do NOT sell any kind of embroidery thread (either for hand or machine work)!

Yeah that is crazy to have to pay shipping for something like that. Shipping "and Handelling" is outrageous.
