Mettler Thread
This seems to be the only olace I can post at this tome. I know it should be in main. Where is the best place to buy mettler thread. Just bought a baggie of thread at yard sale. There was a partial spool of Mettler in there. Just tried it & now I'm hooked so want to buy more

for hand quilting or for machine piecing/quilting?

Have you tried Aurifil? I used Mettler silk finish cotton thread until I tried Aurifil 50wt 2-ply. *Much* prefer the Aurifil! A lot less lint, plus more fits on the bobbin so less bobbin-changing required.
Edit: Not sure about the best place to buy, but I have used http://www.redrockthreads.com for discount thread purchases. They carry both Mettler and Aurifil. |

The man who cleans my sewing machine (Viking) says he recommends Mettler despite the lint. He says just clean it often. Anyway, I buy mine at my local quilt shop, but sometimes if I want a lot of one color, I get it from www.joann.com.

Superior Threads, Atlanta Thread Company, Connecting Threads, Fabric.com, Keepsake quilting, Nancy's notions, Clotildes are all places where you can find a variety of threads- including mettler- among many more- many lqs', joannes...the list goes on & on...

According to the internet, Joann's sells Mettler thread.

My local quilt shop does not carry Mettler -- she carries Gutterman -- but will order me a box (5 spools) from her distributor (Checker Dist). I always buy it by the box -- heaven forbid, I should run out!!! At the start of any spool of thread, I fill every empty bobbin I can find!

Superior Threads does not carry Aurifil or Mettler
I use Aurifil 50wt cotton for machine piecing with Superior Threads' Bottom Line in the bobbin* I use Mettler 60wt cotton embroidery thread for hand piecing. * I buy their pre-wound bobbins (superBobs). The thread is so thin it doesn't matter what colour you use. I once pieced a twin top with 1 bobbin. |
