I will be checking locally and on the web. Figure I will buy at least
24 cones in different colors. I don't like not having what I need when
I start a project LOL.. Is 3000 yards a standard size cone? (It's
called a cone right?)

24 cones = 8 colors (three cones of each color)...or 6 if you buy
4 in each color.
I have stocked up on serger thread cones in a *lot* of colors,
because I'm fussy about having as-close-as-possible matches for
all threads in my projects. Whenever TSWLTH has "All Thread 50%
Off" sales, (like they do at the moments), I buy several cones.
I use white the most, then black, navy, off white/beige, med.
blue, pale blue, red, purple, green, periwinkle, taupe, pink,.
In addition, I have many cones of wooly nylon.
For a project in a new color I don't think I'll ever use again, I
buy just one cone, and wind bobbins for the needle and the
looper(s).
No one ever said sewing was inexpensive.....

You never made more true statements....
I wait until TSWLTH has sales, and buy thread then as well.. I "stock"
big spools of "typical" colours... For normal sewing, I use Gutermann
from Germany (only), and I don't have problems with it at all (as some
have reported -- for example, I have yet to see the lint problems).
Serger thread I tend to test buy with one colour, and then stock up if
it runs well. My serger problably gets the least use of any of my
regular machines, but it definitely comes in handy when I use it, and
it makes a nice finished seam...
Sewing expensive?..... Yes it is, but it has nothing on machine
embroidery.. I now have four, 8 drawer cabinets for storage of
embroidery supplies alone.. I swear that machine embroidery is
another excuse for yet more stash. (laughter)
I must have 300 cones of embroidery thread alone. My latest "I must
have it" purchase was 25 1000m cones of colour varigated poly thread,
and 10 1000m cones of metallics with a poly core.. Not totally sure
what I will use it on, but it is ever-so-pretty.. (more laughter)
Thread, stabilizers, and needles alone can keep you in the poor
house... (laughter)
