www.bobbincentral.com but I have read they have a minimum purchase? I have yet to find that stated anywhere on their website but then again when I order thread I am dropping at least $50 per order so maybe the minimum purchase appears when you check out.
It is also carried here:

I ordered from bobbincentral and never saw a minimum order requirement. (I wonder if that is for wholesale orders?) I LOVE the Glide thread and wish I could find it locally. My longarm dealer used to carry it, but she could not make much money on it.I had to mail order from her as well, so shipping was paid one way or the other!
I use whatever thread I feel like. Cotton, poly, silk...some quilts just call for different threads. If I am going to do alot of small quilting I tend to head for SoFine. I have some silk in there but I bought it for my husbands quilt..which is STILL not done!. Even Permacore and Omni which are poly , leave lint in my bobbin area. Lint is a fact of life in machine quilting, so pull out your paint brush and brush it out!
