Red Rock Threads carries it. It's a cotton covered poly thread, very strong. American and Elfird makes Mettler, Signature A&E, and Robinson-Anton, all nice threads.

I use mostly Signature A&E in my longarm machine quilting business, and I love the hand quilting thread that Signature A&E makes too. After a long day at the longarm quilting for clients, I like to settle in my cozy chair and hand quilt on my own work!
