While I was there, I grabbed some batting for the Craftsy Mystery Quilt I'm doing (50% off) and a can of June Taylor basting spray (used a coupon). All-In-all, not a bad shopping trip
No need to apologize about buying and using Coats & Clark thread. It is primarily what I use. My mother used it for her garment making and my Great Aunt Ruth (my quilting muse!) used it for all of her quilt making. She passed away 20 years ago at the ripe old age of 93 and those quilts are still going strong!!!! Fabrics are thinning but her seams are still intact! Brand of thread is always a matter of personal choice.
