OK I felt so dumb I didn't ask! Glad you did! I was given a huge grocery bag of thread being thrown away by a "sweat shop" ! I didn't have the right color thread to hand bind a quilt but found the perfect color in that bag that I had kept for at least 5 years (taking up needed space in my room and me afaraid to use it!) and tried it. Oh the joy. No twisting or knotting--just great thread. Worked great. Got really curious and discovered a label on the inside of one of the spools stated it is polyester thread. I love it and now have it all organized in a special thread box. Enough to last me forever!
