Do you know what weight it was? You could try less expensive alternatives by trying polys of similar weights from other suppliers. I love using isocord 40wt poly in my LA and I just broke into my first spool of Glide thread from Bobbincentral. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Gorgeous thread, no lint and quilts like a dream in my Innova. The glide is a 40wt that quilts like a much lighter weight thread and uses a size 14 needle. I will definitely be buying more of this thread.
