I agree but they were late in the game so to speak for offering prewounds. When prewounds were introduced to the market they were not geared towards quilters but more to embroiderers. Like quilters usually do, some found that using a prewound was a lot easier in machine quilting and even piecing. (although I always wind my own for piecing)
There are most likely many prewounds out on the market that do not specify what kind of thread is loaded on them.
I have never seen a Superior thread product at a big box like JoAnns or Hobby Lobby. I feel for as long as Superior has been in business they have catered much more to quilters than to other markets (ie garment construction and commercial embroiderers like the ones that stitch emblems to shirts.)
