I had the pleasure of stopping there at Christmas time after going to Mary Jo's. I had never used their thread so was a bit skeptical because of the price... but what a pleasant surprise it is very good thread and really quite inexpensive. They carry lots of variety from quilting top thread to a very strong thin bobbin thread. Lots of embroidery thread !
