I took a look at that website, and that appears - to me, at least - to be a wholesale supplier of industrial thread meant for manufacturing. The use of the word "textured" could be an inside industry term, who knows what it really means. It could just mean twisted, which is normal and nothing new to the world of quilting.


You can buy large cones of thread from Superior Threads, and I'm sure others will chime in with recommendations for other brands also. I happen to be a Superior girl. I like King Tut for quilting, it's a 40-wt and is available in 500 yd and 2000 yd cones. For piecing and applique, I'm in love with Bottom Line, a 60-wt thread available in 1420 yd spools, 3000 yd cones and 33,000 yd cones. Bottom Line is great in the bobbin because it's so fine it takes forever to empty a bobbin.
