My spouse does a search on amazon or e-Bay for the cheapest price and then orders for me. I also get 70 wt microtex sharpie needles for ALL my sewing needs and get 5 packs at a time for about 2.90 a pack, no tax, but 2.90 is price including shipping. I only usually do miniatures , these needles and 60 wt. Cotton thread take up less space on the seam and make more accurate mini blocks.
