I was dead set against buying the "higher priced" thread for a long
time.

I had went to the Quilting & Sewing Expo one year here in Denver
and stopped buy the booth of the store where I had purchased my
machine from. If you "voted" on the projects on display made by
their customers you got a free spool of the Floriani thread.

Well for a long time I just kept moving this one spool around, one
day I was needing a purple to make some lettering and I just didn't
aseem to have the "right" shade/hue of purple then I spotted the
Floriani spool and used it for my project.

The rest as they say is history. I am a firm die hard fan of the Floriani
thread and in fact I'm "slowly" working on purchasing ALL the colors
offered. Right now I am up to 241 colors, plus 13 spools that are
duplicates (because I use A LOT of the colors), and also 8 discontinued
"premium" spools.

Yeah I KNOW some people may think/ask "why?" because there are times
when you need just that "right" color.

I try to buy 2-6 spools per month, if possible but most the time I buy the
Floriani thread when my store is having a buy 2, get 1 free, 50% off deal
and so on.

Hope you enjoy your Floriani thread.

I went to my lqs on my birthday this week and bought 3 colors of Floriani thread. I must say they have beautiful colors! I got each spool for 30% off each which isn't bad at regular price of $4.19 each. I'm going to try them this weekend on my new embroidery machine, can't wait!
