For years I have used only Coats&Clark dual duty 100/60 for piecing my quilts which I had sourced in a 6000yd cone from Atlanta Thread&Supply....I was hoping to stock up again but found that the company has been taken over by Wawak Sewing Supplies. The thread isn't shown in their new catalogue so I emailed for info - they have been helpful in giving me the new stock number for my favourite thread ...... the price has doubled! and there are less than half the number of colours available. I know that everyone has their own personal favourite sewing thread but I do not like 50wt/40wt threads ..... I have tried them all .... I am considering an order with Wawak to try some of their other available threads and maybe one of the exhorbitantly priced cones of my dual duty (for old time's sake)....back to Gutermann and/or other polyester threads? I've left a message on the Coats&Clark contact page - maybe it's an omen but they have street addresses in Greer and in Greenville, SC - my cousin lives in Greer and that is where my sister is heading next month for a short visit....I'm hopeful that my eye troubles will allow for a return to sewing/quilting - I'm still browsing for supplies.
