People seem to be as hung up on thread as they are are on LQS fabric. "Every woman to her own taste," said the old woman as she kissed the cow is what my mother would have said. I use Coats and Clark, which is readily available, comes in a myriad of colors, and is reasonably priced. It is cotton, wrapped with polyester or 100 percent cotton, or whatever it says on the end of the spool. Incidentally, I found a spool of thread--happened to be a color I needed--that I know was nearly 40 years old recently. I pulled on it to see if it had rotted and after assuring myself that it was still all right, I jused it on my project. The end label was marked K-Mart, so I know I bought it in Odessa, Texas when K-Mart had a huge store there and still carried fabric and sewing notions.
Unless we are talking about embroidery thread, I don't quite understand why people get so worried about thread! froggyintexas
