    Default Can't Believe the Price of Aurifil Thread!

    While packing for my quilting retreat, I noticed i didn't have any good white thread left, so I ran to my LQS. I could not believe that the Aurifil Thread had gone up to $12.00 a spool. I know I didn't pay that much a few months ago when I purchased some other colors there. I bought my one spool, but then just purchased three spools of Aurifil for under $29.00 with free shipping at http://www.discountembroiderysupply.com. With taxes, that is a savings of around $2.50 a spool. I hate doing that to our LQS.

    I always hate to do that too, but I still support the LQS by buying fabric, kits, and patterns. I just have to save where I can since retiring.

    Since I don't have a LQS, I have to buy the "good stuff" on line and I love Discount Embroidery Supply. I buy a lot of things there and usually it's the best price I can find.

    I had to get aurifil for a class and was shcked. So expensive.

    I piece with connevting threads essential and quilt with isacord. The isacord i get from imachinegrou, ahipping is pricey but if you order like 10 the per spool price is still great.

    Its why I still use gutterman with 50% off coupons at joanns. Never used aurifil and won't ever be paying that price for it either when there are other threads out there that are nice that are way cheaper

    My LQS charges $10.00 for a spool, for me its well worth it. I have used a few other brands and my machine and I love Aurifil. For me its well worth the cost.

    You can still get a lot of colors of Aurifil from Sue's Sew EZ Designs for $6 spool. Service is very quick!

    My LQS sells it for $10.99 and I hope that price isn't going up. I love Aurifil.
