Walmart in my area doesn't have this iron at all, not even in regular stock. Oh, well when one door closes....I stopped at a yard sale on the way back from Walmart and found gold. A lady had five boxes of pre wound bobbins from Fil Tec, 144 per box of all colors for $2 a box!!!!. I bought all five boxes. She is giving up her alteration business. I saved enought to order the cordless iron at regular price. If you haven't posted the clearance, I would have missed the yard sale. Life is an amazing string of events.
