Okay,
I need quite a bit of one color of embroidery thread
plus some other colors
I have 2 packages / of a embroidery quilt project I am going to do
but, I need the embroidery thread they call for
Dmc
I have check JoAnn's -- Create for less-- Herschners
and Mary Maxim
you have to buy a certain no. in some of those place
JoAnn's
it would be $50.00 for 26 skeins of one color I need not counting the others.
Any ideas as where I can get it cheaper on line?
thanks hugs sheila

Thanks Michele
I won't be tempted to use another brand as I love Dmc
Simply flowers-- Jamie
thanks for the suggestion
but seeing as I need about 36 of a one color and 26 of another color
it would be cost to much as I have about 24 or more quilt blocks to do
Thanks Melody
but our Wall- Marts doesn't sell embroidery thread any more
I found this place on line
http://www.ceciliassamplers.com/
that has it for 42 cents a skein
I am going to order the ones that I need the most and buy the rest here in town.
thanks for the suggestions.

Since you haven't started the project yet, and are making a considerable investment, you might think about using Sulky 40 weight thread on a spool rather than DMC floss. You can probably match the color fairly closely. The benefits are that you don't have to separate the floss into strands and it doesn't twist as much. A much easier product to use and it gives a beautiful result with just one strand of thread as thick as two strands of DMC.

If you shop at Wal Marts they have DMC for less than .50 cents but this is the site I use for it if I need a lot, it's .60 cents a skien.

Sheila, I don't have any suggestions about a cheaper place to buy DMC but I do know that it is the only floss that is colorfast so don't be tempted to substitute another brand.
Also, their dye lots are extremely consitent so you probably don't have to buy all of it once.
Good luck with your project
