Yes, I believe from the primary distributor the prices are $6.99. The other site posted above is cheaper but it doesn't say that is Floriani thread....

I brought thread in from China to reduce the cost of our production since most designs are around 50K stitches. I'm selling it for $3.95 for 1-11 or $3.75 for 12 or more mix and match. They are poly 5000m cones 120d2. I've got metallic as well and bobbins too. We've loaded some on our website www.dkmonogramming.com .

Iris UltraBrite Polyester Thread. $6.35 for a 5500 yd cone. Great quality, made with American made triblobal polyester.

We've tried the iris...more thread breaks than we cared for unfortunately

Ultimately, the price of thread is very low per logo, even using a more expensive brand, so the only issues to address are reliability and colour. If you can't get a run done without a thread break then any saving will disappear very quickly. Also, if you can't match the colour the customer wants or it fades with washing then, equally, profits will disappear.

The best and only way to go is to contact suppliers and run samples. When you find one that works for you and they have a good range then stick with that.

Personally, I like Marathon.

Remember, though, that the needs of polyester are different to those of rayon, so don't just swap threads and expect it to work well. Check your settings first!

fufus thread

Some commercial machines like some brands and not others. I have SWF machines and run Isacord, FuFu-Floriani, Madeira, Sulky, Gunold. They don't like RA poly or rayon.

Best advice is to request samples from different brands. They usually send black and white. If your machine runs well with these, usually can use their brand.

The reason for black and white is the black is usually reduced or the white is bleached when they have excess colors.

Should have said black is redyed
