Source on supplies?
« on: March 15, 2012, 02:34:45 PM »
I have used AllStitch but I'm looking for some alternatives... need to place a small order of some things and Allstitch just doesn't have what I could use to fill out the order (got to get that free shipping!) ;)

That's the thing... specific isn't what I need.

I NEED a couple of spools of 60 weight and some small needles (I may pick those up locally as I don't need 100 of them).  I'd also would pick up a tension gauge since I'm filling out the order.  Probably a color card or two (swatch book).  Maybe a couple of pairs of snips... just some different things to fill out the order because ordering a couple of spools of thread alone just doesn't make sense.

try these folks http://www.5ts.com/embroidery-supply/
they have 60 weight and handle small orders nicely.
They are in western New York.
As for free shipping on small embroidery supplies I would forget looking for that ghost

There is no such thing as free shipping from any where. They are getting paid for it one way or another.

I understand they might have a minimum... I'm ok with that... I usually fill out the order with other supplies till I hit that mark... I'll use them up eventually!
