I think they should have done a bit of market research before settling on a name. Didn't even bother clicking through (if you can, I didn't check!) to see the website. ------ Tina In my Sewing Room: Pfaff Creative Performance - Pfurple! Juki F600 Brother PRW420 Juki 735 Serger

SO now they are selling fabric - I can only say this - if the fabric and the service are as TOP NOTCH as the thread and the service when you order thread - that's gonna be a great online fabric store no matter what they call it! Superior Threads is absolutely A#1. Just a really fanatic satisfied customer here! ------ "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." --Dalai Lama I have sewing machines

Date: 7/25/12 8:16 AM I've been shopping with Superior Thread for quite a long time so I was familiar with the "mother superior" title. Doesn't bother me in the least, it's a trustworthy retailer. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D
