This reminds me of last year at Paducah quilt show, Hancocks of Paducah had just filled a sale table with big cones of variegated thread. I picked up one and the label was on the bottom. It was Sulky brand and only $4 a cone! I started filling my basket with one of every color blend. Two women walked over and one picked up a cone, read the label and said this is made by Bulky? and it's not 50# so we can't use it for quilting. I said it's very good thread. She said we are new quilters and we were told only to use 50# cotton thread. I said this is good for machine quilting. But they insisted their teacher said only 50# could be used. Oh well. One day they will realize what a bargain they passed up and how clueless their teacher was. LOL
