Most of my sewing/quilting/embroidery thread comes from either
http://www.threadart.com
or
http://www.metroemb.com
Both have wonderful embroidery threads, bobbin thread... Threadart also has cottons & rayons...and I love the metallics they sell.

This is a quandary, isn't it? We all want to support our LQS, they have to charge that much because they have to keep the lights on, but we have to watch our budgets. I buy all over the place, and I'm rethinking just how high quality I need to do what I want to do. I haven't tried Aurfil yet, and now I probably won't. I was on my way to being a quilt snob, but I just can't afford it.

I do like the Aurifil thread best and so does my machine. It runs smoother than with the CC or Guttermann threads and there is much less lint. My LQS charges around $10.95 for a large spool, which lasts a long time. I've checked out the sites mentioned here, but by the time you pay their lower price and shipping (and tax, if they charge it), it comes out about the same (or more) as if I buy it locally. If I could find a great deal that didn't require me to purchase several spools to get the real discount, I'd do it; but for one or two spools at a time (not knowing what color I'll need next) I don't see that much of a savings. I understand that if you are purchasing a quantity, it would be a good amount of savings.

I buy my aurafil thread at www.createforless.com. But my long arm machine doesn't like it very well. I have trouble getting the tension just right with it. But I am going to check out some of those sites you guys have posted.

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
