Will be in the Charlotte NC area next week. I remember the talk about a great shop to go to for embroidery thread. Need the name and address if possible. Thanks

Thanks to everyone for their responses. Can't wait to go shopping. Will let you know how it turned out.

The Thread Exchange is located at 291A Merrimon Avenue, Weaverville, NC 28787 and have a 4,000 Square Foot warehouse in the Northeast corner of the AB Emblem Building. Weaverville is a small town that is about eight miles from Asheville, NC and about twenty miles from the Tennessee state line.




Driving Directions

Take Interstate 26 to Exit 21--New Stock Road

If you are coming from Asheville turn right at the exit; if you are coming from Tennessee turn left at the exit.

Go about 1/4 mile to the Merrimon Avenue traffic light (CITGO Station) and turn left.

Go about 1/2 mile to the first traffic light. Turn left on AB Emblem road.

Look for our sign at the top of the driveway hill, last door on the main building dock.

Important--We are an internet-based business and our warehouse is set up to give same day shipping to our internet customers. We only display embroidery thread and Valdani Cotton. If you are interested in other types of thread you must call in advance so we can prepare for your visit. Our telephone numbers are 828-658-8670 or 1-800-915-2320

Oh I'm jealous :o)
I watched Terre's pics in her post and it looks like a little heaven just for embroidering people. Hope you can manage to meet Terre and you have a nice chat...
Greetings, Bettina

Spend a few extra hours there for me shopping. I know you'll have a wonderful time. Share your shopping experience when you get back!

How fun for you Pam - would love to join you - but most likely will never make it back to NC in this life time.

Hey Pam, I see you have the answer "Longcreek Mills", what day will you be in Charlotte. I could meet you if I know ahead of time. I'd love to meet another cutie. I could even bring another local cutie with me. Let me know and I'll make arrangements to be there. If you want to go to Mary Jo's fabric place first We could meet there and then eat and go to LongCreek. If you aren't able to meet, maybe another time. I know you will have a great time visiting. Here is the thread with the pictures of the store.

just give me a hollar when you come back through. :) have fun...

Mary Jo's in Gastonio North Carolina is a great shop if you are a fabricholic. It is off of I-85 exit 21 near the Gaston Mall on Cox Road. When I lived in South Carolina, I use to make special trips just to that store. You can find find fabric there that you can't find elsewhere. Have fun in North Carolina, it is a great state.
