    I'm in love with Sulky's Polylite thread and I get it at Jo-Ann's when it is on sale. Just stocked up when they had their 50% off spools and got some beautiful varigated colors. Also like Superior and I could easily become a thread junkie, but with already being a fabric nut I'd better not.

    Coated extra-long staple cotton thread which has been specifically designed for Hand Quilters is recommended. The glaze coating adds the necessary strength for the tugging and pulling that hand quilting requires.

    I have a 1200 yd spool of Coats & Clark cotton machine quilting thread in varigated pastels (use it for baby quilts). I probably bought it 2 or 3 years ago and I don't remember where I got it. Maybe they don't make it anymore?

    I LOVE King Tut from Superior Threads. 100% Extra-Long Staple Egyptian Cotton. It seems expensive, but a spool does a LOT of quilting. I buy it at my LQS but it's available online too.

    I use King Tut and buy from Nancy's Notions on line. She sells great quality threads. Also always looking on ebay and on line shops. Love my varigated thread!

    I get STAR thread (it's from Coats and Clarks) and I usually pick it up at Beverly's.
