    I buy a lot from Quilt in a Day at their sales. So many good deals!

    I buy sewing machine needles when I find them on sale. Same with thread. I have a pretty big stock of both right now so I'm just using up what I have. My new favorite needle is Schmetz Super Non Stick. I use them for bags and for doing FMQ. They are really amazing and I don't seem to have any problems with them

    Wawak has their own brand of cotton 50 weight thread, called "Couture". It's very nice and not linty, made from premium cotton. And like all of their stuff, it's reasonably priced.

    For things I bought at JoAnn, I check at Quilt-in-a-Day. I buy titanium topstitch 80/12 machine needles at Superior Threads. I like their Masterpiece thread and also sometimes buy Presencia 50 wt. for binding.

    Wawak has sewing machine feet too. I buy feet for my Juki TL. They have all the compensating feet for Juki or other high shank machines. Bobbin cases for most all machines and other basic machine parts. They list all the machine and models the items will fit. They are the same as the ones in the quilt shops with the brand name on them. Same numbers stamped on them. I have checked everyone I have bought. Same thing.

    Good to know. Right now I don't need any thread as I found some on sale when a LQS was moving so I'm good for now, but I've been sewing quite a bit lately so that might not last that long!
