FYI - Red Rock Threads adjusts the shipping down if you only buy a little. I thought it was very reasonable at less than $1.50 shipping for a few spools of thread. Pretty fast shipping too.

I agree that it is very irritating to go to a store that has always had certain items only to find that they do not carry the anymore. :x I have lived in remote area's in the past so I feel your pain and frustration :!:

I am so glad I live where I have choices! We even have some variety stores that sell embroidery supplies!
But I'm gald you found what you need, and it is ok to vent! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Go ahead and vent. It's healthy to get it out of your system. Our Wal mart no longer carries fabric either. What a pain. I buy my thread from Connecting Thread and love it. I just got a package from them today. Some fabric and more thread. I'll post a picture tomorrow after I finish petting my new fabric.

Did you need machine embroidery thread or embroidery floss?

I need floss, Klue gave a me a couple of sites to check out and 1 of them has lots of it + material. I also dug down a little deeper in my sewing box and found enough to finish up the block with.
Thank you everyone for you help and letting me vent. You are the greatest!

Oh heck girl...if it was floss you needed, I have a TON Of it!!
It's the thread I run out of all the time. lol

Our Walmart still has a sewing department by they stopped selling floss too :-(

I guess we sewers don't matter to them.

Do you have a Micheal's or Hobby Lobby in your area? I know you said your kinda in the boonies but they always have embroidery floss & it's usually on sale. I am glad you found some, I was digging thru all my stuff & was going to mail you some if I could have got your address. I just hate it when the store doesn't have stuff or is sold out. At Christmas this year I wanted Wonder under & Wally World was out till February. I got my husband to pick me up some in another town. He went to fabric dept. cell phone in hand & I talked him thru it.

I second that! :D
