i've been in a desperate search for "Carpet Thread".
I'm sooooooo frustrated, i can't find it anywhere!
I've looked at Jo-Ann's, who used to carry it and no luck.
None of the employees were exactly helpful, either.
I looked in Wal-Mart's sewing area and they barely had any thread, period.
Michaels.. I haven't looked there yet, but that's my next stop.

I need it because I sew everything by hand, and it's the only 'standard' thread i'm comfortable with.
At least, i thought it was standard until i needed more!!
Regular machine thread unravels when used by hand, and other threads are just too thin.
Sometimes I use embroidery thread, which is thick, but the skeins don't supply much so it gets expensive when i tackle a project requiring plenty of thread.

This is *NOT* upholstery (spelling sucks, I know) thread, but CARPET thread.
Does anyone have anywhere I can search (online stores are fine) or anything close to carpet thread?

The best way i can describe Carpet thread is a little thicker than machine/standard thread, and the coating feels a little waxy.

ANY HELP IS GREAT.

Thanks <333

Also, I'll be posting a lot of pictures of projects sometime this week, because since i went to the mall and was inspired by Urban Outfitters DIY style expensive trendy clothing and forever 21's clothing, I'll be sewing and crafting like crazy. Plus I'm bored and I have tons of new ides.
