Shipping cost wasn't so high then either. Aurifil became my gift for years to all my quilting friends. I still have a couple boxes of the cotton spools. I can tell a difference from the first Aurifil thread from today's Aurifil. The older is stronger and not curly coming off the spool. I was surprised when I used a new spool, the quality I was used to wasn't there. Not worth the price for me.
