Default Mettler Thread

I need some help. The area where I live has NO quilt shops that carry
Mettler 60wt cotton thread. Does anyone have a good site for ordering
on line? I started a table topper and have already gone through one
small spool and need another. I really did not think this tiny
project would take a whole spool but it has a lot of micro stippling.
You would think I would know better by now to use an "only spool" for
any project.

Any help would be appreciated. :-)

I haven't personally ordered from them but whenever someone asks about
online shops that sell needles someone always posts this website.

I've never ordered from them online, and they are The Store We Love To Hate
(TSWLTH), but I keep getting online coupons for Joann's and I'm sure they
carry Mettler thread. Might be worth a peek at least. Someone might even
have a coupon; I seem to have deleted all of mine.

It's hard to find. The only place I've found it successfully is Create
For Less http://tinyurl.com/366o8d

I've moved over to two other threads that I really love and have found
are even less linty than the Mettler 60 wt. Though they are labeled 50
wt they seem the same thickness as the mettler. They have been much
easier to find on-line for me too.

Auriful 50 wt. and Superior brand MasterPiece 50 wt threads are what I
use now for piecing. Red Rock Threads carries
both...http://www.redrockthreads.com Sew Thankful carries MasterPiece
and also has the larger cones which are great (and the prices are
better!). http://www.sewthankful.com

Thanks Jeri, Dogmom, Patti and Marcella. I will try to trace down the
different threads and sites to buy them. It is really a pain for this
one color.

I really appreciate your input!! :-)
