qn4e - I purchase my Floriani thread from my dealer where i purchased
my machines from. They almost ALWAYS have some kind of special/sale
running. Which helps with the price.
Right now in their sales flyer they have a special where you buy 2 spools
of Floriani poly thread get the third free (limit 4 free per customer). But
I am also a member of their "Sew Fun Club" which is annual membership
they have free classes, and such plus with SFC when they DON'T have a sale
on threads and such I get 20% off each item I purchase that is NOT on sale.
When I purchased my newest machine I also bought the 100 spool of Floriani
thread, and since I pretty much already had about 1/3 of the colors in the set
they let me them in and exchange for colors I didn't have.
I LOVE my local dealer, and there is one particular sales lady that I make sure
she is working when I make bigger purchases because she has ALWAYS gone
out of her way (more than the others) to help me and since they get paid a
commission on the bigger purchases I have her to help me so she can get the
sales commission.
I also get my Floriani stabilizers there and my mega "commercial" roll of Wet n Gone
that you liked drooling over (just kidding).

Quilty-Louise where do you purchase your Floriani threads? at a local lqs or online? AND How's the sewing room coming along (I know its two different threads but haven't had time to locate them).
I do agree that choosing a stabilizer is a bit tricky but with time once you know the fabric type you are using it may not be as difficult.
