Thanks for the info, Joan! I also saw in my JoAnn's flyer that beginning Nov. 11 they have thread and notions 50% off.

I am waiting to for the Sale at Joann's they are having a big Veterans Sale! Embroidery thread I am running low!

I have a lot of threads because I gots lots & lots FREE with my Koala cabinet two years ago and then another lot free this spring when I bought their craft table.

However I seem to run out of white and black embroidery thread sooner than any other color so I was glad when I saw that flyer from JoAnn's I plan to stock up on those two colors. I am participating in a bookmark & Christmas Card exchange and have to make approx 20 bookmarks!

I bought some really beautiful threads from the internet....they are incredible...BUT they break.....I have found that the local stores that sell coats and clark....those do not break.....not so shiny....but they do not break like the others that I have bought....try this out.....this is what I have found out....judy in louisiana

I get machine embroidery thread on-line from Threadetc.com. It's Isacord polyester. Once a month, they have a special column on sale for $3.10 per 1000m spool, plus s & h. I usually order 10 spools which comes to $40 including s & h (cheaper than the local dealer). I'm trying to collect all 300+ colors. They also have 10 or so neon colors. I have NEVER had it break on me. Very good, fast service, too.

If you folks have not tried ARC thread, I encourage you to do so. These are 1000mm polyester cones/spools for a fraction over a dollar each PLUS you get the design card with 3700 designs with several fonts in 3 sizes that can be reduced 10% & increased 20%. There are many catagories of designs, mascots, occupations, sports of several kind. Just a bunch of useful things. My daughter said the CD was worth what I paid for the package deal. There are ARC thread charts on line so you can see the full color range.

I have bought the Sylko Machine Embroidery Thread 100% polyester 5000 meter cone 40 weight from Fabric.com. They currently have it for $2.95 per cone. It is made by coats & clark. I like this thread and do not have any breakage problems. I put in on a large thread stand. I had purchased several cones a few years back and really liked the thread. I just recently noticed this other vendor.

That is a bargain. I paid $15 each for 2 colors of Sylkoin the 5000 meter cones. I had to have it for a big, hurry up project when I couldn't wait for a shipment.

I too bought the ARC thread at 299.00. It is great. No thread breaks and a bargain. Shipping was 11.00. Received in two days. They also offer a free thread converter download online. The website is www.melcomart.com
