Just wondering where you all buy your thread. I really like Isacord but the site I use to get it from no longer sells it. What type threads are used in the group and where to get the best price.?

I usually get mine from ebay a seller called M & K Enterprises, they have those really large spools of Maderia threads at super prices, also grab em when they are on sale at JoAnns for 50% off.

I have a dealer that sells Robison-Anton and Floriani, that's where I get mine. Been thinking about BFC Creations, though, anybody go to BFC Stash? They have both rayon and poly thread they use on all thier sew-outs, which are just gorgeous, and the thread is really inexpensive! If anyone has tried it, let me know, ok? They have an unbelievable palette of colors. Thanks & good luck, Marji

I still use the Isacord thread and get it from embsupplies.com. Probably a little pricy, but I know it is good. I'm trying to find a supplier for Maderia in single cones and not having any luck. Anyone out know of one?

Allstitch.net has the best price on Organ needles. they will sell at wholesale prices to any one. I especially like the Titanium needles. Once you use them, you won't use anything else. I look up what I want on the website, but I call the order in by phone 410-646-0382 because my computer firewall won't let me place the order on line. No big deal, they are aware of the problem.

I buy R & A from ShoppersRule, you save heaps on special (package deal) prices, plus for members (free newsletter) they have "make an offer" and no reasonable offer is refused, they also have a great thread club and lots of fabulous specials on stabilisers, needles, t-shirts, you name it.
I just placed another large order with them and i sent them my (cheap Dragon) thread samples for them to match up the colours for me in R&A. They also have those fabulous Enviro tubes, you get them free with package deals or can buy individually, great thread protection from light, dust & heat. hugs and roses, all, M

This is such a good question. I love Isacord, but it is pricey. But... I have gotten threads from ebay! Yet, I have been considering Marathon threads. I have heard that they are good. Has anybody here used it?

I buy Marathon but then I'm in South Africa. I like it very much both the rayon & the poly. I found a place in USA that makes its own thread and the price seems reasonable. Maybe you would like to try it out. If somebody does use it I would like to know what it is like. *4u Link added.

I use sulky and maderia and I buy on line since i live in a tiny town with no fabric stores. Walmart only carries Coats and my machine doesn't like it.

I get mine from www.MetroEm.net. There is an amazing sale right now. The thread sews out and looks like rayon because the thread color is amazing. The customer service is superb, and I am so impressed with the current sale. I'm considering ordering a 2nd set of the large cones, just because of the price.
Hope this message isn't too late. Just check out the site.

Great question...I usually buy mine through Thread Art, but after reading some of the responses I think I am going to try MetroEm.net.It sounds like the best deal. i was paying $3.99 for the 5000mm spools there but Metro has them on sale right now for $1.99.

I order Maderia from Discount Embroidery Supply.com. They have other threads and supplies in general. I find them cheaper and like the shipping charges.

I always use Poly thread because it will not fade, which can not be said for Rayon.
Long Creek Mills, 108 South Webb St., Gastonia, NC 28052 Toll Free: 1.866.869.6651 - great thread at great prices. i.e., Poly-5500 yrds @ $4.00 a spool and Poly-1100 yrds @ $2.00 a spool. They make the thread at this location. Call they will send you a color chart, and then you can spend, spend, spend. Hope this helps...

I use RA and buy it from RedRockThreads.com. Postage is cheap $4.00 per order or less if only one or two spools (actual shipping cost). Have had great service from this company and highly recommend
them.
