Thanks for the links. As I live over 90 miles from the nearest Jo-Ann's,
Michael's, etc., the ability to purchase on-line will be a blessing.

Betty,

Do you have a Hancock's close by? Ours carries both Mettler and Gutterman.

For black, white, cream, navy, red, and other colors I use a lot, I
order 1,064-yard spools of Mettler's Metrosene (polyester) from Newark
Dressmaker Supply. They have a very good price on 5 spools that size
ordered at the same time, and their catalog often has a coupon for free
shipping during a certain time period.

Thanks so much, Doreen. The nearest Hancock Fabrics is 85 miles away. I've
just signed up for a catalog from Newark Dressmaker Supply. I love being
able to order a free catalog. Do you by chance use the Deelybob II thread
cone adapter, which is a featured product on their site? I'd like to know
if it would fit my pitiful Singer 5050. The photos showing the adapter
attached to two machines are not large enough for me to discern just how the
adapter is connected.

Betty,

I don't have any experience with that adapter, but someone else in this
group most likely does, so keep checking back!

NDS's catalogs aren't very artistically composed, but they have many
interesting items and their service is prompt and dependable. Once I
ordered an assortment of Sulky rayon threads...when it arrived, it
included three (I think) spools of Sulky Sliver, a flat metallic that I
hadn't had good experience with previously and which I hadn't expected.
A pleasant telephone call resulted in a generous partial refund.

Newark has had a decent price on the large Mettler tubes for years....
relatively speaking of course. Combine a thread purchase with one of
the free shipping deals and it's even better.
