***************************************

Need 50 weight Aurifil thread?  Come and select from 200+ spools in the 1300 meter size.  Neutral colors - your favorites plus some new favorites.  And beautiful colors! 

What about Kreinik iron-on thread?  Yes, you need it!

And Invisafil, the 100 weight poly that everyone is talking about.  The little quilt in this photo was quilted with white Invisafil - so fine that it's barely visible.  Your quilted texture shows through, instead of the thread.  So many more uses!

Thread is half the fun of quilting!
