I am tempted to get a package of various colors for use in my coverstitch machine. Would this work ok? Anyone out there with experience in this?

I'm not familiar with this brand. I do like Marathon, I think it's also $1.75 a mini-king.

It is $1.75 for a large king, 5000 yds not the mini king. I came across it on another forum. Several people have ordered it and really like it. The mini kings are .75 cents.

I just went and checked. The sale was supposed to end yesterday and I guess that one did although it was still marked $1.75 this morning. It is now $2.25 per 5000yd cone. The small mini king is still .75 cents. I ordered the large 20 cones earlier today and it was cheaper. It is still a good price though.

I spoke with them today on the phone and they will have a color conversion program available in a few weeks as a free download. That will be great. Lets all stay in touch. Janice

Wow, what a day to ask about this thread. I have been watching all the posts in different forums and decided I had to have some. I of course had no money and put it on the someday list. Today, I recieved a box of 105 mini kings spools. They are beautiful. I can't wait to use them. This was a gift from my wonderful SIL and sister. I am so lucky. Yes, I cried over a box of thread, but you all should understand, right?
