Quiltingcandy.... JoAnn's still carries the Americana Hand Thread. I like that thread. I'm currently using the Chestnut to hand quilt a autumn leaf themed wallhanging. I tend to use what ever thread I have on hand. I have a small box of cone threads here in the house and I actually have a large box of it in the storage unit someplace.... which is packed about 7 feet high & is way over my head I'm lucky to stand at 5'4 on a good day. LOL.
