I only ordered from them once, but I didn't have to pay any additional fees.

I order from them all the time. The photo is exactly the colors you'd receive. I use red often in my quilting, so although I probably wouldn't piece with it, I'd quilt with it. I've never paid any custom charges, just shipping.

The new brand of the cotton mako sold there is awesome too.

Do you ladies know which of their thread is good for long arm machines?. I haven't bought any thread yet to try it and their colors look really nice.

I just ordered the box! Best vaule on thread I've seen in a long time. If you need a smaller size set look at this special. ? lol, are the first four spools red? That's fine with me but never thought of red as piecing color.

Lots of grab bags with different colors available.

40# or lower is usually used for long arm quilting and machine quilting. 50# is excellent for piecing.


Oh you can use paypal there too. The shipping from Italy was $18.85 making the total cost for 24 1300m 50# spools of Aurifil thread $97.85. Even with shipping it's less then the ten spools of the boxed sets of Aurifil being sold in shops here.
