I don’t think I’ll ever need to buy thread again

I found the most incredible deal on thread today, someone was retiring from sewing ‘couture’ and liquidated 1,000 spools of thread. $200 for all of it. I will never ever complain about not getting the good deals on Kijiji or garage sales ever again. What fun it will be to share the spoils with my quilty friends!

Now that’s a deal of the century...looks like you got more than you’ll ever use.

Talk about pennies on the dollar!!! What a collection. I cannot imagine buying that much thread by the original owner. Do share with your friends.

Wow! You hit the jackpot! Great find!

Awesome score but one caution. Some of it might already be old. While it will be fine for seaming etc, you may run into problems in embroidery, thread painting and FM usage. Thread does dry out and become fragile. I've found running a line of light machine oil down the side of the spool helps to reduce breakages.

Boston1954 02-05-2019 09:25 AM

My goodness! I think you have every shade and color there is!

mary quilting 02-05-2019 04:45 PM

Don't you love yard sales and estate sales

nwm50 02-06-2019 04:27 AM

Shoot!! What an awesome deal! Many colors you can use. Good job!

Good point MK, I’ll try that if I run into problems with it. So far so good though, it is sewing beautiful stitches on my Bernina using various built-in stitches, and hardly leaving any lint in my machine compared to the cotton threads I’ve been using!

Wow! That's a lot of thread!
