Well - it has been a time since I bought metallic thread from a store, but the last one I got at the Viking shop was RA and it was $14.95 for a 1000m spool. The last metallic I bought online was from Marathon. And I paid $15 for a 5000m spool. Quite the difference isn't it?
I couldn't tell you . I can't remember the last time I bought thread in a store. I find better prices online
