I buy online from Metro Thread - however sometimes you have a hard time with the shipping prices overseas. Do you have a dealer for thread in your country - that you could buy from online? Have you done a search?

I buy from Metro as well. I don't know about shipping to Canada. I would check them out. They are prompt and I had never had a bad experience.

Hi I work with cotton everything except wss. I got all the beautiful colors from connectingthreads.com and a big cone of white for bobbins, quilting, etc.
There thread colors matches their fabric. The 1100 yd spool is on sale for $1.74/ea. 50 wt.
Shipping to Canada is:
up to $19.99 - $10.29,
$20.00 to $39.99 - $11.29,
$40.00 to $49.99 - $12.99,
$50.00 & over (web only) - $7.00,
$50.00 & over (catalog & phone) - $13.99

My first ones were threadart and it works well in my machine. I just got the 166 colors from metro thread - the colors are awesome. Haven't tried them out yet - still organizing them and debating whether to mix them with the other ones or not. But a lot of cuties have gone with the metro thread and just love it - it is not expensive - $.67 a spool. Even with getting it to Canada it still only came to around a $1 a spool. I haven't found any here for under $6.99 a spool! Big difference.
Good luck in your choice.

SICK Embroidery sells & ships Embroidery thread to Canada for a pretty good price I believe. It looks like they are out at the moment you may want to email them to see when they will have them in again,

Hi Loosie,

I cannot give Metro Embroidery Thread a big enough rap.

With the help of Shirlene I bought the whole set. They are awesome colours and will hopefully last me a lifetime.

Robison Anton are the other threads I buy and I get them through TUBBY'S wife out at a shopping centre on the other side of Newcastle (about an hour away). They are very expensive for just a little spool. Anyway, looks like Metro is a very popular brand amongst us embroiderers on here.

Good luck love and blessings Chris

I purchase my Robison Anton rayon thread from discountembroiderysupply.com and the poly from Metro Embroidery. I love the Metro thread and have been using it more then my RA thread. Hugs..Carol

Metro is my favorite, it is inexpensive and when they have a sale, all the better!

Love the metroemb.com thread. I have the whole 166 spool set. They sew beautifully on my Brother machines.
