I bought all of the color collections of thread. I love them for FMQing. I still like aurofill best for piecing.
Be patient for your order to come. I used their free shipping and it did take a while.
You might want to try coating your thread with bees wax for hand quilting to keep it from knotting.

I got my first sampling of thread in today and it's....okay. I tried a bit for hand quilting and it knotted up a little more than the Coats thread I usually use. I'm going to try again with a shorter thread--I tend to cut it a bit long to avoid re-threading! I think it will be great for machine sewing, though. Fingers crossed!
I also tried out the large-eye super glide quilting needles. They're wonderful...but they're so short I can barely use them! They're about half as long as the needles I usually quilt with! I was able to quilt the tiniest stitches I've ever done, but my arthritic little fingers just couldn't handle it!
