Any Australians out there looking for good embroidery thread good price and reasonable postage? I just ordered from Theda Threads and was very pleased to see that even though the Aust dollar has dropped their prices are still good. Got some 4,000 metres ones from $4.40 to $7.95 each. The best part was the postage $15 no matter how big or heavy. Much better deal than the one I was looking at on line where the freight was $69.44 for 2 reels. They even do International orders. I have used this thread before and the quality is very good and the colours haven't faded after multiple washes.

Thanks for the name will have a look at their web site.. Marian

I always go to Embroidery Source in Melbourne 3hr drive but worth it, 5000m reels of Paramount are 7.95, they do postage also...wendy

Wish I was within driving distance but do order a lot of things from them.

Cost of parcels gets more expensive once it it sent interstate.I'm sure that overseas places quote outlandish prices for post to Australia so that we won't buy from them ,saving them extra work.Once I was told that they wanted nearly $30 to post a item the size of a match box weighing 50grams from the USA

Thank you this is good to know. I don't need any right now but probably will soon

the freight is usually the killer isn't it. Tried buying a KwikSew pattern from Spotlight, but they said it was too new [still in America but not here yet]. I downloaded the print version and spent all day glueing it together. It works, but such a lot of effort!!
Thanks for the above information babash. I'm from Sth Aust.

I started with J Dashew Co. Said I couldn't order from them now because no tax ID. Moved on to Marathon rayon threads, then to their polyester. No problems with them. Have ordered also from ThreadArt and Annabove polyesters. No problems, good prices. Well, only problem was with one mini spool of white from ThreadArt. I have to loosen the tension when I use that spool. These were online orders and I think one phone order to Marathon due to phone online problem. Great pricing and shipping in America.

I use Marathon as well not one problem with any of their reels, we have a factory store in Lakemba N.S.W. but I'm sure there would be others besides the Melbourne one.

I love Marathon threads also, i visit the factory outlet in Melbourne when there they are always very helpful, they also have an outlet in Sydney.Never had a problem with them and they sew perfect. Sandra.

I love Marathon threads use it all the time . I have never had a problem with it .

Hi, have you tried Marathon threads. They are in Australia and also have good priced thread and flat rate shipping. (within Australia)
