Ok ., I've just looked up Metro, but can't work out where they are, are they USA? Postage price could be a lot.
Metro is in El Paso Texas,USA

I have the full range of madiera thread. I find it works very well I have also found it lasts well if items are frequently washed!

Kitty, I use Isacord due to the type of machine I have...Bernina S Series 830. It needs a high speed thread and almost never breaks the Isacord...everything else breaks in this machine...
I get 5000m spool on sale at IMachine Group for $6 on sale every few months they have this sale...

that sounds like great thread. but I'm thinking the reels could be a little large for me ?
I wouldn't be able to buy a huge variety of colours if I get that size.

The last time I ordered thread it was from Metro. I bought the large package and have been very pleased with the results. I also have used Sulky with good results, Maderia and RA. For the value I will choose Metro. Good value, good thread and good results. Hugs, Mary

Thanks joyce. I haven't heard of RA ? or Hemmingworth Polyselect, do you buy them online & is the price good?
RA short for Robison-Anton.

Thanks crafter., I'm now trying to find out the postage cost. I've written to them so just waiting for a reply.

I use Robison Anton rayon and Metro poly. I think with metro it depends on how many spools you buy. If you get a lot, it can go in one of those boxes that you can fill till it's full. I think that is around 9.95. That's the most I have ever paid and it was worth it because the thread was on sale and so inexpensive. Hugs..Carol

Hi carol, thanks. Can you tell me which country the $9.95 applies to.. where are you?... i'm in australia.
Oops, sorry. It's for the USA. Hugs.Carol

Living in Saudi Arabia I don't have much of a choice!! I use the available thread, Sunflower, it's not bad but there is a lot of breakage.... oh well!!

MetroEmb.com is my favorite - almost all I use. From my experience, the postage is quite reasonable - to the US they have lots of flat rate items (and I think I saw no more than $10.95).

I started with all different makes, and found out my 2 machines, 1 or the other does not like many ot the companies threads, and I love Metro and so do both of my machines. I even got the varigated because they are so beautiful. I don't use much varigated. Hugs, Judy

Love Metro, inexpensive, but shipping to OZ might be prohibitive. They use flat-rate boxes, and I know there are International flat-rate boxes, but what the cost of them to OZ I don't know. Good luck, Marji

I am trying different threads. Madeira and Sulky rayon thread works ok but I need to use thread nets with it. Madeira Metallic a bit of a challenge but large eye needles, silicon applied to thread,use vertical spindle and baby it along and was ok that way. BFC (from BFC creations) polyester worked great -good price. Essential 100% Cotton Satin Finish Thread from connecting threads for fsl worked and looks great and a good price.I have an old Viking Rose machine.

I wouldn't buy a large quantity of any thread at first. Some machine are picky about thread. So buy a couple of spools and try them out to see if your machine likes the thread. Also, some machines (like mine) dislike certain colors in a thread line too.

Kitty, I mainly use threads bought from thedathreads in Brisbane. Awesome to work with and never had a problem with any of the colours. Love thier varigated ones too. They have a hugs range and postage is usually about $11 for the bulk I purchase.:I did buy from Metro but the postage is huge.

Wow., thank you all so much for your answers...
I have a lot of info to look into now.
The metro at 50 reels for approx $34 sounded great, except that I have since found out that postage to australia is an extra $60 !!!!!!!!!
So now I'm going to check out all the other links & information you've posted.
thanks

I use Metro. My machines love it and it is very inexpensive. It is always best to start with a few spools of any kind though to see how it works for you. I have 144 spools of some stuff that my machines hate sitting in my closet.

I buy King Star Poly from Embroidery Source in Melbourne (Alphington/Fairfield). I can either Fax, Phone, or go in person and use the large cones so I don't need to shop for it often.

I can not find prices anywhere for their thread.
If you go to the Online store and select a strip (of colours) it'll give prices. Bit of a long drive for you, even though it's 'just' the neighbouring State!

Thank you again... loads of new options to look at :) I have a busy day ahead, but when I get a chance I will check out all the links etc. thanks cuties

I buy my threads from Marathon threads in Australia or Creek Creations. I have found both excellent.
