I'm using some 100wt. silk thread on the piece I'm currently machine quilting, and it was looking like I was about to run out of the color I'm using. Thursday I did a bit of looking around on the web (the thread isn't available locally that I know of). I ended up ordering from a place called Red Rock Threads , which offered free shipping and reasonable prices.
I ordered Thursday evening, and the thread arrived in today's mail! :D Keep in mind that I didn't ask for special, speedy shipping; but the place does happen to be located in this state. Still, the service was so fast that I'm delighted to be able to pass along the information to all of you.
