Check out j Hittle's for your thread it is 8.38 a spool. Any one can order from them, great prices on everything.
|
I find the price discrepancies difficult to understand in my neck of the woods: It costs about $20 at the 3 lqs and $7.95 at the discount place...

Make sure when comparing prices to Guttermans' at JoAnn's that you're accounting for the yards on a spool of thread. Spools of thread at Joann's have much less thread these days. I had to do that w/ the Gutterman glazed cotton hand quilting thread. Gutterman for 220 yds was approx $2.75 at half price. YLI thread for 1000 yd spool is only about $8 - a much better deal. When I order the YLI, i just buy a couple of the big spools to have on hand because the shipping for 2 spools isn't different than 1 spool.

If ...... I had never used Aurifil, I was perfectly happy with threads like gutterman, mettler(sp?), YLI, sulky,etc.
now my machines and I are spoiled, Aurifil for piecing and King Tut for quilting...fortunately Santa knows and filled my stocking with Aurifil last year!!!!!! |
Yep, everywhere you go, everything keeps going up, except our paychecks!

I like to use varigated thread for my Linus quilts as it saves changing thread for each one I make. I made the mistake of choosing a spool of varigeted Aurifil thread at my local Bernina Dealer /fabric store/ etc. etc. The price wasn't posted. Before I got to the cash register I decided that two would be better than one. I had a hard time hiding my surprise when the bill came to a little more than $25.00 for the two items. OUCH!! I will say that there seems to be a lot of thread on those spools. I have done four or five Linus quilts, loaded at least 6 or 7 bobbins and the first spool doesn't even look touched.

If you use a lot of black bobbin thread this is the buy of the year: http://www.tristan.bc.ca/cart/produc...1&cat=7&page=3

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.
