Does anyone know where to get good cheap thread from in England.. please can anyone help.XXX

This is now a very interesting question with good answers. I am leaving for the UK on the 4th of Dec and will definately shop around. Will be in Stirling for a week and in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire the rest of the time. See you there?

I bought a whole cabinet of colours some years ago from T C Threads in Hucknall Nottingham but have not had contact for some time so don't know if still in business!

I purchase mine from etc link below :-)
I have purchased from ebay before and got some great deals..but then often got frustrated when
I needed to buy the same colours so now I stick to one supplier :-)
their reels are 5000m for £2.99,
worth stocking up so you only pay one postage price
I also find that their wss, and iron on backing very good prices

I have brought from ebay three times now and have been dissapointed

I buy Starlite threads from BSK on Ebay, £1.99 per reel for 1000 metres. I've never had any trouble with this thread, the black is the one that seems to break quite a bit, so I use Dark Grey instead, and no more trouble. The colours are brilliant, and look like new after several washes, and BSK is a fantastic firm to deal with.

I've bought some rayon threads from E-Bay very cheaply. I've been very pleased with them. They don't break any more often than the more expensive threads I've tried!
