Jo-ann Fabric (going out of business) has absolutely NO thread. Unless you need "overlock" or "quilting" thread, whatever that is. These were the last 5 spools of thread in our local store, or random colors. One was in the "go back" bin and I saw it so I snagged it. Two others had fallen into a crack on the side of a display, LOL. They were a good deal, though. Will have to make a bike bag or something out of the fancy metallic looking thread. I just needed ANY thread, cheap, for random practice projects. #sewing

@ai6yr do you have any Nomex thread? There is a market for wildland fire wear repair. With your new skills you make some people happy! I know someone who does this and makes custom Nomex as well. She is awesome- Bria at Incidental Wildland

@bud_t @ai6yr ooooo yes! Nomex repair and creating new nomex garnets is a huge untapped market. Only a few people are working in it although with the tariffs who knows what's going to happen 😬
