If you have time and especially if you have an embroidery machine, you'll also want to take in the thread store on 108 S Webb St also in Gastonia. Web site,

Quilting and serger thread 3000@$2/6000yd@$3. Mr Rector also carries stabilizers nothing over $6, most $2 per yard. There's more info on my sheet and on the web page.
Basically, I have never gotten bad thread there and they are every bit as nice as Mary Jo'l folks!
