QuiltE I have just sent them an e-mail where I did tell them that their website had been recommended to me by a friend in Canada, so if they can reduce the shipping costs will definitely put your name down as a referral. Yes I have used Aurifil before but unfortunately I can't buy it locally, usually put a couple of spools in with my order at Hancocks but they haven't had free shipping for quite a while
I keep a very close eye on their website
I get 30 yards of fabric from the States for $45 and thats quite heavy, surely thread doesn't weight that much
