ConnectingThreads.com has 100% Egypian Cotton Thread around $2.20 a spool, think it's on sale for 1.79 right now. Great thread and my Brother, Viking and Singer love it. Many of the gals use it on this forum. It has 1200 yards to a spool, very cost effective and most of the time in quilts - it's the thread that breaks down not the fabric when it gets old. So you want to use good, quality thread. IHO
