it's great to have the *power of the internet* so we are able to shop around- there are many places selling aurafil for much less-
fabric.com has a pretty good selection & since shipping is free at the $35 level i generally take advantage and stock up.
unless i have to have a certain thread right at that moment i seldom purchase thread at the lqs- i spend alot of money there for other things though

I buy Aurifil thread here: With shipping it's still cheaper then any other place. Great service too!http://www.tristan.bc.ca/cart/produc...&cat=36&page=3

Check out the door crashers and grab bags.

I went to a quilt shop about two hours away today for Christmas in July sale and came home and ordered a grab bag of Aurifil thread from Tristans! It was $12 a spool at the quilt shop and the collections were $120 and up. I have also used the Cucirini cotton Mako sold there and can't tell any difference from Aurifil except it cost a little more. It is suppose to be better then Aurifil. I buy the huge cone of the 60wt 2 ply for bobbins.

Has anyone else tried the thread from ThreadArt? I buy their large cones of polyester embroidery thread for my longarm. It has a lovely sheen and is very strong. $4.99 for a large 5000 M. cone and a kazillion colours. Can't beat that!

I love Aurifil! I'll pay whatever it costs; but I usually shop around and get a good price. I really stocked up when a LQS went out of business.

I love the price at Connecting Threads, but my sewing machine doesn't always agree. My machine loves Aurifil and when my machine is happy, I'm happy. LOL

Wow! I checked out Sue's Sew EZ Designs and that $6.00 price is wonderful. I did read that her new shipment of Aurifil came in to retail at $12 a spool, but Sue's is discounting it to $7.50, which is still a good deal.

Thanks for the info katier825.

Tristan has spools for $5.00, which is even better. I just wasn't sure about the shipping fees since it was coming from Canada.
