Sewing Machines Direct get a big thumbs up for me - I like to do a lot of free motion embroidery, and am very heavy on the thread - I have used Simthread before, and was quite happy with its performance and price.  I saw SMD were selling it, so I ordered 7 various reels online yesterday afternoon, and couldn't believe they arrived in the post the morning!

I might just have to order some more.........(£1.39 for 1000m reels) whereas 1000m of 'Glide' thread is £4 per reel!  Have used both and not much to choose between them (apart from price!!)
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

More agreement from me.  I bought my overlocker from them and they were really lovely.  Efficient too, which is good!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

And I mentioned my recent excellent experience with them on my new machine machine thread.

They also sell knitting wool.
Great place, service and lovely staff. I can't recommend highly enough.
