You used to be able to go to this place. You will need to check it out with them if you can drop in to pick stuff up.

The only one that I know of is in Footscray [Barklay? Road) opposite the Primary School. Prices the same as Springvale. Check under 'industral thread suppliers' for more outlets. there is one in Heidelburg, & several in Abbotsford, & Jacksons on Victoria, near Hoddle. There may be others in Richmond on Victoria. You can purchase direct from the industrial outlets.
thankyou, I kept looking under overlocking thread didn't get anywhere, I will try the Footscray one that would be easy to get to, usually takes us ,2 1/2 hrs to get to melb, and just as long to get to the other side, so thanks a lot...wendy
