Am I in the minority then? Guess I must be!

Yes, I know I could have phoned on ahead ........but I had to check out their fabrics didn't I?

Walmart used to carry white hand quilting thread but the ones near me no longer sell fabric so I just buy mine at JoAnn's and yes, JoAnn Fabrics does sell hand quilting thread as I use it all the time. Have no clue about quilt shops since I don't do quilt shops. Hope you can find some near you.
