I have been going to JoAnns' in the Bay Area, but they don't carry it. I don't use a machine, and this is the best thread for my quilting. I have ordered Coats and Clark brand dual duty plus, but they send dual duty (all polyester) every time. I'm an old lady and can't take the stress, I need cotton covered polyester, da**it! Thanks for the reply. Do you know where a Jo Anns or Hancock is that carries it?
