Man $1.00 a spool is a bargain. I was using coats and clark cotton thread but my machine did not get along with it. I have changed to mettler and All is going well with it. I may pay more for a spool but 3 coats and clark cotton spools would cost the same as 1 mettler and the two would equal about the same on yardage. My LQS carries mettler and had decided that I needed to try different thread.
