We are carrying more and more thread. In the early years it was only Star Thread, which we are now phasing out. It was cheap and we had to clean the machine often. Now that we have good thread to sew with and expensive machines, we only want to sew with the best. We still love our Fine Thread, a 100% Cotton 120 weight but it is too light for many jobs so we also need our 50 wieght 2 play Aurifil cotton thread for most jobs and 50 wieght 3-ply Mettler threads for quilts which will receive hard wear such as baby quilts or large piecing and lightly quilted quilts. There is a discussion about threads from our home page if you want to know more about the threads we carry and why. And don't forget, you must match your thread to your needle for best results from your sewing machine. We carry the right needles for each of the threads we carry in bulk packs rather than mixed so you don't end up with sizes you won't use. For cotton you will want a sharp needle and Universals are not sharp. Sharps, Denims, and Embroidery needles are all sharp. And, with decorative threads a #14 Top-stitch needle will always be your best best. Make sure you have a good supply of needles.
