    Try ordering from Superior Threads http://www.superiorthreads.com/ They are very good.

    You could always call them if the computer is a problem.

    It's great thread!! A little heavier than I usually use, but when I want the quilting to show well I use it. Someone from ST is here on the board, hopefully they'll see this post and contact you.

    I only use King Tut for the top and SoFine for the bobbin on my Tin Lizzie. Keep thinking I'll get brave and use some fancy thread. I also have to order it and ordered the charts with thread colors. They were definitely worth the cost.

    Google King Tut Thread and you can find a number of places to buy it. Superior will sell it for $25+ per cone, but I usually pay about $18. You can use it in the bobbin as well, but I've found that Bottom Line (also from Superior) does very well in the bobbin. Bottom Line is a thinner thread, so you get a lot more on the bobbin and it lasts longer. I have used cheaper threads, but I always end up coming back to King Tut. A lot of LA quilters also use Signature threads and really like them. They are a bit less expensive. I started out with black and white and the basic neutrals then just ordered as needed. If you have a business license you can buy wholesale and get better prices. Sew Thankful has good prices on King Tut.

    Go to superior threads.com. I belong to the thread of the month club with them. Fast, easy & the site is VERY helpful.

    Love King Tut, you can find it cheaper than the Superior Threads website.

    I've bought King Tut thread and a bunch of other stuff from sewthankful.com. She also has fast shipping. If you sign up for her newsletter you get weekly coupons.
